Acorn Enthusiasts Disc 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome
-------
First of all, welcome to the Enthusiasts' Scheme, and welcome to this first 
Acorn Enthusiasts' Disc. Hopefully this disc will be the first of many!

We've trawled through our collection of software and documentation, and 
asked our partners in the Acorn Group to do the same, in order to bring you 
this collection of useful snippets and hackery.

If you have any comments on the contents of this disc, or ideas for the 
contents of future instantiations, please drop us a line at pm@acorn.co.uk; 
comments specifically about the Pocket Reference should be addressed to 
dwalker@acorn.co.uk instead.

Have fun, people!
