Most of the software here has been archived using the !Spark 2 application and has no suffix. Some files may have suffixes with indicate how they have been compressed and/or archived if !Spark 2 has not been used. The files should be ftp'ed using binary mode, and then unpacked using David Pillings !SparkPlug application. A copy of this is available in the file splug2.uue file. This is a UU encoded file which can be decoded using the uud program. ie 1.

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...

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. ./games/edwards airball.arc Airball.
