- 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 Some of this may now be obsolete or superceded by later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.
