ArcScan III is a multitasking computerised index to magazines and manuals. The version on this CD-ROM has been set up to index RISC User magazine by default, and can therefore be run from the CD as a means of locating articles in RISC User quickly and easily. The index files for the various Acorn RISC OS 3 manuals have also been pre-loaded. All available library files for other manuals and magazines are provided in the archive, but you will need to copy the software onto your own disc in order to install and use them.
