- This is the last info server update before the Xmas break. I wish everyone a
- happy Xmas and an equally happy 1993.
-
- [ and is probably also the last c.s.a.an* posting before my Xmas break. So
- far, most replies I've seen about the posting of Press Releases appear
- to favour the status quo - so that's how it'll stay.
-
- Happy Xmas, etc

- New software:
-
- bastracker - by Julian Wright. Description:
- This is an Amiga-ProTracker module player. It requires the recently
- posted version of DataSuite to operate. It may run a little slow
- on ARM2 machines, although I have included an ARM2 version of it.
- This is my entry into the Arc demo competition, in the Basic
- category - yes it's written completely in Basic!
-
-
- discindex - by Stephen Mansfield. Description:
- This is an ADFS disc indexing system which runs under RISC OS 3.1 (no testing
- on earlier versions of OS have been carried out, it may work though).
-
-
- killscreen - by Philip Banks. Description:
- A short module that inhibits the display of that desktop startup screen. And
- optionally runs an OSCLI command at the same time. More help is provided in
- the text file inside the archive.
-
-
- To retrieve a file from the archive, send a message to
- info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content:
-
- line-limit 1000
- request: sources
- topic: archimedes filename
- request: end
-
- where filename is replaced by the name of the file that you want.
- A filename of 'index' will send you the latest index file.
- A filename of 'tail_index' will send you the list of the last 50 files added
- to the archive.
-
- PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SOFTWARE IS VIRUS FREE BEFORE SENDING IT TO ME
