New software:

backthrow - by Gunnar Zoetl. Description:
this is !backthrow 0.1, a little DDE utility that does some useful
things using the DDE throwback feature. It comes in C source only.
(It may appear on comp.sources.acorn somewhere in the future, I have
submitted it about a month ago, but there was no reaction yet from
the moderators side)

cuboid - by Pete Williams. Description:
The application - spinning a cuboid. The Euler equations for a spinning
cuboid are solved and demonstrated graphically. Double click on the spin
application icon. The cuboid will appear and will be at rest. To induce
rotation about its centre of gravity simply move the mouse or press the ->
or <- keys. This will simulate a torque about the axis.


decaof - by Andy Duplain. Description:
Here is a freely distributable copy of "decaof", which is an
imitation of the decaof program distributed with the Acorn DDE.


sprites - by Owen Smith. Description:
These icons are public domain. This is NOT a 3D window tool set. It is a set
of replacement application and filetype icons. I designed them to overcome
several shortcomings in the standard RISC OS sprite set:
 * The standard set are not international eg. many of the file type sprites
   have words or letters in them.
 * The standard set have the now defunct Archimedes 'A' logo in many of
   them, particularly the file type icons.




 
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
