Acorn has introduced two new products offering a complete environment for
Risc Os programming with the Desktop. 

Acorn Desktop C is a development environment for programming in ANSI C.

Acorn Desktop Assembler provides the same environment for Archimedes ARM
assembly language. The two products can be used separately, or together for
mixed C and assembler programming.

The C compiler of Acorn Desktop C is a full implementation of C as defined by
the 1989 ANSI language standard, tested with Plum-Hall Validation Suite
version 2.00. It is supplied with ANSI and Risc Os specific libraries.

At least 2Mb of RAM is needed to run Acorn Desktop C or Assembler. A hard
disc is recommended for serious use and is required to use both products
together.

Below is some text that describes the use !MailMan application (details
on what !MailMan does can be found in the User Guide supplied with your
computer)

The !MailMan application is only suitable for those with a network
and the following is the best way to install the application.

In order to have a central copy of !MailMan to which all users have access
it is necessary to set the following variables within the users own !ArmBoot
file.

  Mail$Current (eg. to NET:&.Mail.Current)
  Mail$LogFile (eg. to NET:&.Mail.LogFile)
  Mail$Name    (eg. to Fred Smith : Class 2X3)
  Mail$Source  (eg. to NET:&.Mail.Intray)

When !MailMan starts it checks to see if these above variables are set, if
they are it does not alter them. It is important to ensure that the full
pathname, including the filing system is specified. The will enable you to
redirect certain files to local storage is necessary but it is important
that the file pointed to by Mail$Source has public write access.
