I've finally managed to get onto comp.sys.acorn. Here's the first posting of the info server index to the new newsgroup. You'll note that the format has changed somewhat, mainly to save me a bit of time. I will have to move the software to another machine within the next few days, so keep on trying if your requests get rejected. New additions: Four Brothers In ARM demos, plus the Stronged editor (bia_*) An updated version of Standard ML (sml) Another mandelbrot program (mandelscape) Here's the full index: INDEX OF ARCHIMEDES SOFTWARE HELD ON THE NEWCASTLE INFO SERVER --------------------------------------------------------------- LAST UPDATED: 6-12-90 ---------------------- To retrieve a file a file from the archive, send a message to info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content: line-limit 1000 request: sources topic: archimedes filename request: end where filename is replaced by the name of the file, as shown below.

only 22 levels. It takes less than 700K memory and will easily run on a 310. 3) Humboldt Prolog interpreter binaries for 1 and 2 meg machines. The config files allow customisation for those interested.
