I have a copy of version 2.00 (September 1990) Of AIM. This version is
a RISC-OS application, and is, as far as I can tell from the readme
file, Public Domain. It requires at least 2 Megabytes of RAM. If anyone
is interested, mail me, and I'll send it to the Newcastle info server.
(Is it on the air again?)

For those who are not familiar with it, AIM (Archimedes Image Manager)
is an image processing package. It can process images of 256x256
pixels, in 8 bit greyscale. If you want more information on AIM, or
want to know about newer versions, you might contact one of the
following addresses:

   Lindis International Ltd., Wood Farm, Linstead Magna,
   Halesworth, Suffolk IP19 0DU (UK)

or ECD Computers Delft BV, Voldersgracht 25-26,
   2611 EV Delft (Holland).

A small problem: I have been trying to set the Run alias for text files
so that it will clear the screen and enter page mode before typing the
file. To do this, you need to put more than one command on a line. I
imagined they should be separated by a ";" or so, like:

Echo <12><14> ; Type %%1

but that didn't work,
and I couldn't find anything about in the manuals. Is there really no
way to do this?  (Hell, even in MS-DOOS it's possible!)
