Original-subject: Info server: new additions / current index
Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti)
Phew! 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:
