Quite possible then that Kris has updated the site after I dropped him an email. Chris. Just me. diomus on 3/1/04 3:22PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

I stumbled across the previous version of the tofla site some months ago whilst on a random walk in cyberspace. I immediately printed out several of the articles, which are now carefully filed, least the site should close. Nice to see it's not only still around but growing. One thing that could be usefully added is all the old Acorn User *Info programs and one liners; you can learn so much from a short but clever piece of code. martin on 3/1/04 3:42PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

The Acorn User *Info programs are (c) their authors (unless the program says otherwise) and so if you wanted to do that you'd have to contact all the authors. AU only have rights to distribute the program for 3 months, IIRC. That's off the top of my head, so I reserve the right to be wrong. Gerph on 3/1/04 10:34PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

AndrewD/Diomus: Aye, I fixed it when I received Chris's mail. On the subject of *Info's: yes, the subject of who owns material is a difficult one. For example, I have permission from Steve Turnbull (and latterly, John Cartmell) to reproduce AU material - up until the point when AU stopped paying people for articles. So anything recent I find I have to find the authors themselves. Also: I'm trying to reproduce articles which are primarily about communicating with RISC OS, rather than little graphical ditties or full-blown apps. This is why I've duplicated Mike Goldberg's Acorn Computing articles on sprite plotting, but didn't bother duplicating the ones about weather satellite pictures, flowerboxes, or whattever. But if anyone ever things of a particular article they saw in *Info or whattever that they thing would be especially useful, let me know and I'll contact the appropriate parties for permission.
