Software Available To Users At No Charge

--------------------------------

There is a variety of software that is made available by Acorn to all users at no charge.

Our <-- a href="ftp" -->FTP site<-- /a --> has a large array of software, documents and upgrades available for downloading.

For convenience, we will also be placing links to the items on the FTP site on this page. At the moment, we have only listed a few selected items, but eventually, it is our intention to have links to nearly all the available items.

--------------------------------

Note: files marked with an '[arc]' are compressed archives which can be decompressed using either SparkFS or ArcFS 2. If you do not have either of these programs, you may wish to download the following file:

dearchive

This is a BASIC program which, when executed, builds a copy of !Sparkplug, which can also be used to decompress the archives.

Alternatively, for DOS and UNIX users, nspark is the C source to an application which can also decompress our archives.
