As a pilot project to experiment with our Virtual Branches
software and large CDROM archives (a Pioneer DRM 1804X for the
pilot project), Acorn Software is making available it's stock of
DECUS and DEC CDROMs available for FTP, GOPHER, and WWW access.
These are NOT savesets, ZIP files, ZOO archives, etc.  You may
transfer as little or as much as you wish.  Depending on user
demand and interest we will expand the service to larger
libraries and include other CDROMs as appropriate.

Changes:

(12-Jan-1995) We've added the OSF/1 Freeware CDROM to our
inventory as a demonstration of the interoperability of Virtual
Branches and ISO 9660.

(11-Jan-1995) We've indexed all the *readme*.* files of the
CDROMs.  You can search the readme files using Gopher boolean
searches and go directly to the README files (not the directory
CONTAINING the readme files) to determine if these items are of
interest to you.

(10-Jan-1995) We've added the Fall 1993 (VS0168) and Spring 1994
(VS0169) CDROMs to our inventory.

(27-Dec-1994) We've added the Digital FREEWARE CDROM to our
inventory.

(26-Dec-1994) We've indexed the directory listings of the CDROMs.
You can now search the directory listings using Gopher boolean
searches and go directly to the directories which contain the
items of interest to you.  As a consequence, some of the
directory structures have changed.  If you've linked to the ACDC
using the old directory structure, you had better check to make
sure you can still access things appropriately.

Try the CDROM Center out and let us know how you like it, what
you would like to see here, what you're willing to donate in the
way of CDs for inclusion, etc.  If there are any issues, contact
us at:
