For all sites, the type of files the site contains is indicated. For ftp sites and pad connections you'll find the directories to look for with a short description of the contents. For ftp sites, the internet address is also given. Next to the mail server addresses you'll find the adress of the maintainer. This list is maintained by Gerben Vos . BTW, who is going to set up comp.{binaries,sources}.acorn archives? Or will the people at Stuttgart also archive the non-RiscOS stuff from these groups?

We want to support Public-Domain-TeX, and all programs and informations used for programming (and for comfortable use of the Archimedes of course). We want to support all program languages (also exotic languages, except Basic). It's planned to ask per News for subroutines for specific problems of programming (e.g. menus in C, graphics in ml...).

You can get practically everything from other places, too. --Gerben] Best time to FTP is between Friday 10:00:00 GMT and Monday 20:00:00 GMT. Only in Australia: any day after 8pm and before 8am. For more information, email nomad@deakin.oz.au or datkins@deakin.oz.au . MAIL SERVERS: ============= [A..] info-server@newcastle.ac.uk (Albert.Koelmans@newcastle.ac.uk) Lots of Archimedes programs The archive of interest to this group contains public domain software for ARM based systems (Archimedes, A3000, Rxxx etc), mainly put together from Usenet postings and private submissions. To get the current contents of the archive, send a message to info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content: request: sources topic: archimedes index request: end The index file also contains a lot of other useful information, such as locations of other archives, and a trouble shooting guide. [?B.] pdsoft@pdsoft.lancs.ac.uk (pdsoft@pdsoft.lancs.ac.uk) unknown (only for users within the UK) PADS: ===== [?B.] pdsoft.lancs.ac.uk (login pdsoft) /micros/acorn: unknown You can usually call this up over X.25 or a direct dial-up. From some systems in the UK the command "pad lancs.pdsoft" will work. Otherwise, you should connect to a pad by calling an appropriate phone number; any university pad connection (in the UK) should be able to connect you to pdsoft. To do this, enter the command "call pdsoft". Login and passwords are given when you are connected. If the worst comes to the worst you can issue the command "help address" to the pad. Don't try any other addresses other than pdsoft, you won't get in. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
