Subject: Acorn

Hi All,
  It is my understanding that Acorn as  a company is intending to implode
(those more in the know than me please pipe up and tell me the real
facts).

My understanding is that someone is basically buying them for the ARM
shares and that Pace are getting RISC OS and all the set top box people.

The question I don't know however is who gets the copyright for the BBC
ROMS and related software.

If anyone knows I'd like to find out and ask them nicely to release it.

I don't think the deal has actually gone through yet; so I suppose
anything is possible.

Dave
