To clear this once and for all (this goes for comp.sys.acorn too) NONE of
the comp...acorn groups are for the Archimedes, or any other specific Acorn
computer. 

Whether programs/sources for the 6502 machines appear is up to you out there
- I'll be drawing on SID's program library for some postings, but the rest
come from you. At the moment I have several waiting to be posted for the ARM
machines and none (apart from Gerben's encoding/decoding) for the 6502
machines.

(Another general point - since the A3000 is not, strictly speaking, an
Archimedes - it is a BBC A3000 computer - I will be differentiating between
the distinct families of machines by their CPU, ie 6502 or ARM based. Unless
I qualify the statement 6502 includes CMOS 6502s, 6512 etc, and ARM is ARM2
or ARM3.)

I'm still arranging things here regarding posting to the new groups and
deciding the format - more on that soon.

PS - Apologies to Gerben, and anyone else expecting a quick mail reply from
me; I'm doing this in addition to everything I do usually, so it sometimes
get to wait behind more urgent jobs.
