The group comp.sys.acorn exists. I suggest all people reading eunet.micro.acorn to make sure they also get comp.sys.acorn. If this is not the case due to your sysadmin, tell them comp.sys.acorn will in the end replace eunet.micro.acorn (due to the larger distribution). To start at least a small ball roling in comp.sys.acorn, I'll leave you with the question `what is the ARM used in besides the Arc and ABC?'. Oh, in case you couldn't guess, followups are directed to comp.sys.acorn. Tiggr

I'm way out of touch by the looks - What's the ABC?? Graeme Williams gcwilliams@watdragon.waterloo.edu

I think I read somewhere that it is being used in a laser printer, probably processing postcript or something like that. By the way, what is ABC?

By the way, what >is ABC? > The term ABC to me refers to the computer that Acorn released a number of years ago. It was packaged like a PC. If I remeber correctly it was based on a master with MS-DOS coprocessor. The ABC stood for Acorn Business Computer. These "facts" may or may not be accurate as it was some time ago. I can look it up if anyone's interested. Assuming that the above is accurate then the ARM has nought to do with ABC If anyone else knows different please correct me. It takes a loooong time for any information to seep from the UK to Australia. How about comp.sys.acorn.bbc or some such section for those of us with the all enduring 8 bit wonders? I don't have access to eunet.micro.acorn, is/was there anything in it worth transferring to this section (if others are in the same sitution) As far as closing it down, why not just have all messages sent to it relayed to this section until people get used to it then kill it. kim

I think he's probably referring to this 'Active Book Company' thing - I've seen the name, but haven't a clue what it's on about... Anybody care to elaborate?
