Documents/Problems

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
This file details any known problems in compatibility between !Killer
and other products available for Acorn computers.

We can now be reached by email - sales@pinesoft.demon.co.uk or
support@pinesoft.demon.co.uk. If you are on JANET you might have to use 
these addresses back to front, ie sales@uk.co.demon.pinesoft Experiment!

The AVRD is now quite out of date. Although this is recognised as
a deficiency which must be addressed, it is likely that future
entries will not be to the level of precision of past ones. This
is to deter misuse of the AVRD.

Problems may be experienced when using VProtect together with
Atomwide's RemoteFS. If you are having problems please contact
Pineapple. We hope to have a solution soon.

### IMPORTANT ### !Killer with RISC OS 2

Thank you to all !Killer users who so far have informed us that
they are still using RISC OS 2 systems. If you have not yet
advised us that you are using !Killer with RISC OS 2 then
please do so. The number of responses will be used to determine
what level of support to provide for RISC OS 2 in the future.

Responses should be sent to the Technical Support service.
