VTi/Eclipse/Argo StrongARM compatibility 02/10/96
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a list of the VTi, Eclipse and ArgoNet products. We currently testing
them on the StrongARM processor to see if they work, and also modifying them
if they do not. This list will be updated regularly, pending testing on the
various products.

Where "No known bugs at present" is written, this means that there are no
known problems using the StrongARM instead of the normal processors.

AppCompPatch
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the programs were compressed using a custom compression scheme,
AppComp. AppCompPatch fixes these programs, and is completely transparent in
operation.

The AppCompPatch is available from the Argo FTP site,
ftp://ftp.argonet.co.uk/pub/Acorn/StrongARM/AppCompPatch.bas

If you have a StrongARM compatible ArcFS read-only, you can download an ArcFS
archive from ftp://ftp.argonet.co.uk/pub/Acorn/StrongARM/AppCompPatch.arc
