Archive is a monthly subscription magazine published by Norwich Computer
Services. It first appeared in October 1987, shortly after the
introduction of the first Archimedes computer.
This CD contains the entire contents of all the magazines since Volume 4
issue 5 (February 1991) and the disc which accompanied each issue from
the first issue. It therefore probably comprises the single largest
repository of information about the entire range of Acorn machines ever
collected together. Some of the early material may concern products that
are now obsolete, although still in use, and so the information may not
be easily available elsewhere.
For the first three+ years Archive was compiled on Apple computers and so
cannot easily be made available. From Volume 4 onwards, the magazine was
published entirely on the Archimedes using Computer Concept's
Impression. These Impression documents are obviously rather large. Most
will require a machine with 4Mb of RAM, and some may need even more.
The contents of the magazine are also provided as plain text. The text
files, which can be found in the TEXT directory, are supplied in several
formats. For those with a large amount of RAM each volume is contained
in a single large file. This makes it easy to search quickly for
keywords relating to products or other items in which you are
interested. For those with less memory, each issue is also provided
separately.
One very popular section of the magazine has always been the 'Hints and
Tips' supplied by readers. This is so useful that it has been reproduced
on its own, as a single large file covering all issues, as one file for
each volume, and as individual issues. Similarly PRODUCTS contains
information on new products as they were introduced, upgrades, and other
facts. As with the Hints and Tips section this is supplied in different
formats.
As well as the magazine itself and the magazine discs the contents of
some other discs supplied by NCS are also provided. There are several
Utility discs which contain useful Public Domain, Shareware, and other
programs. There are also many of the 'Shareware' series. These are no
longer supplied by NCS, but for many years comprised a library of PD
material. Some of this may now be obsolete or superceded by later
versions of the same program, but it does provide a valuable
collection.
