14/09/94 No, this isn't an Acorn User column. Before uploading these Acorn User archives, I parsed and edited them to make sure that all references to old Acorn addresses and discontinued services were removed, in order both to save you download time and avoid presenting you with outdated information. As the December 1989 column was entirely connected with SID (Acorn's now defunct Support Information Database, which has had its information dissemination facilities essentially replaced by this nice new gleaming ftp server) and had no other content, I summarily vapourised it. This file has been added to clear up any confusion on the part of users who were previously under the impression that I'd forgotten to upload the December column, or that it had gone missing. Cheers folks, Dave Walker ftp Site Public Area Maintainer (among other things) PS. Comments on this site to customer.services@acorn rather than directly to me, please.
