We're BACK!!! Our CDROM changer (and a spare) are finally in
house.  Come visit and scrounge.  Stay tuned for deployment of
our HSManager product in the service of these archives.

As a service to the net as a whole and to provide exposure for 
our Virtual Branches software and large CDROM archives (a Pioneer
DRM 1804X for this project others to be deployed as necessary),
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: 

(10-May-1995) We've added the Fall 1994 DECUS L&T CDROM.

(13-Mar-1995) We've added a CDROM detailing the OpenVMS/AXP
Layered products as of May-1994.  If we get a later version,
we'll bring that one up.

(05-Feb-1995) We've added VS0135 (Fall, 1991), and VS0148
(Spring, 1992).

(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:

        acdc@acornsw.com

The ftp site is:

        URL:            ftp://flash.acornsw.com/
        site:           flash.acornsw.com
        IP#:            140.186.88.9
        user:           anonymous

Then cd to the appropriate volume, e.g., cd vs0114:[000000].  A
gopher server is also available:

        URL:            gopher://gopher.acornsw.com/
        site:           gopher.acornsw.com
        IP#:            140.186.88.9
        port:           70

Additional information and access to all of the above are also
