./comm
I am currently (17.7.1997) reorganising the whole comms area. New and
updated parts will show up every now and then, currently the uucp/
dir and the internet/ dir were reorganised and updated.
The focus will somewhat move to internet software, as I am myself
interested in that topic and therefore I am able to keep up with
all the new versions popping up as I am using most of the packages
myself.
Please be a little patient during reorganisation. It will take some
time.

1. Ftp as binary the arc.uue, uud and splug2.uue files.
2. *settype uud absolute and move it into Library.
3. uud arc.uue and move the arc program into Library.
4. uud splug2.uue
5. create directory "!SparkPlug"
6. move the splug2_arc file into !SparkPlug and *dir !SparkPlug
7. arc -x splug2_arc
8. *settype obeyme obey
9. click on obeyme to run it
10. delete arc.uue splug2.uue
This should have created an application called "!SparkPlug". The arc and
uud programs are useful so don't delete them.
Most of the packages have !help or readme files which detail the conditions
of use and give further information about the package and the author. Any
problems using the software should be directed at the authors and not me as
I don't neccessarily use (or have even unpacked and tried) the packages
presented here. Any problems with the files in the archive should be
reported to me - especially any viruses or copyright issues.
The language word lists are, as far as I know, are not available elsewhere
in the RiscOS Latin 1 character set. The French, Dutch and Italian lists
contain correctly (I hope) accented characters. The German list is plain
ASCII at the moment as I don't know sufficient German to correct it. (Not
that I know that much French, Dutch and Italian :-))
If you have any suitable packages that you would like to upload then please
ftp them info the incoming/riscos directory and then email me at the address
below. PLEASE check for virus infection before uploading. PLEASE check the
copyright status (it is a non-trival exercise to scan every package looking
for a copyright notice hidden away somewhere.) A one line description
similar to those provided would be helpful. If the package is NOT archived
using the !Spark 2 application please include a comment indicating how the
file should be decoded. I don't unpack and then rearchive items that are not
archived using !Spark 2.
Finally, "caveat emptor", this is a distribution service not a validation
service. The packages presented here may or may not be suitable for running
on your particular Archimedes machine.
Thanks go to...
RiscMan <s2105995@spectrum.cs.unsw.oz.au> for providing a large number of
the packages despite flakey network connections between Manchester and Oz.
Those people kind enough to let me know the true copyright nature of some
items that have been, let us say, `modified' by persons unknown :-)
Simon Burrows, who's PD software list I placed on the server without asking
first but said it's OK.

=== Angband 2.7.8, RISC OS Release 2 ===
Angband has been ported to RISC OS by Kevin Bracey (kevin@iota.co.uk).
This is the second official release of RISC OS Angband. Any suggestions,
complaints, etc will be welcomed.
Angband will run on any machine with RISC OS 3.10 or later, and 2Mb
of RAM. (The application currently requires about 992K of memory).
This directory contains four Spark archives:
ang2782.spk The RISC OS desktop Angband 2.7.8 application.
toolbox.spk Toolbox modules required to run Angband
on pre-RISC OS 3.60 machines.
ang2782t.spk "Update" (Downdate?) to Ang2782.spk to make it
run outside the desktop. Might be useful for
slower/smaller machines.
sourcextra.spk Compilation instructions + utilities, plus
the latest version of main-acn.c.
To start playing Angband you only need download the first two
archives.
The official Angband archive is at ftp.cis.ksu.edu, in the directory
/pub/Games/Angband/Angband-2.7.x/
The archive Toolbox.spk has not changed since release 1.
SourceXtra.spk now contains all necessary bits to allow you
to recompile Angband using the (pre-Acorn) Angband 2.7.8
source tree.

./tex-distrib
This directory contains a very easy to install version of
ArmTeX 3.141 plus links to the required archivers (tar and gzip).
All you need are 7 disks and 10 MB on your HD (to install it you'll
need about 17MB)
The original ArmTeX can still be found in
/pub/systems/acorn/tex/Armtex (you will perhaps need the docs form
there)
Read distrib.info for further information.
The reason why it is not in the normal 'tex'-section is, that this
section is mirrored from ftp.dante.de and not manually moderated by
us. I wanted to send them this distribution, but it would be against
their policy to have duplicate copies of ArmTeX...
