When the archie first came out, I got an early version of AIM - the
picture processing software originally on something like the Atari or
Amiga (I think that's what the 'a' stood for anyway)

This was pd software, distributed by the university where it was written;
it might have been Delft perhaps?

I've never seen a Risc OS version of Aim since then, or even heard of
it being used.  Is it still PD?  And if it is, does anyone have a copy
which they might consider sending to Albert at Newcastle?  [If it already
*is* on Newcastle I'm going to be awfully embarrased :-) - I did check...]

Thanks

Graham

PS Ghostscript was a great opener for comp.binaries.acorn, by why didn't
Alan post the sources to comp.sources.acorn instead?  With news averaging
10Mb per day, our site admin is quite likely to chop binary groups soon, and
I'd hate to miss stuff as good as this...

(actually, it was a *little* big - wouldn't it be better to put big
stuff like that on the server, and post smaller things to the group?)
