I sold a set of them to fund my plane ticket over to the US three years ago :-)

My collection's around 900 files and 8MB of stuff - directory names hint at 
two separate source snapshots, although there doesn't appear at a glance to be 
a lot of commonality between the two - could be that they did a significant 
rewrite, or it could be that I only have partial bits of the OS.

Oh, there's also mention of integrating something called "CAMEL" (capitalised) 
into the core of ARX - does that mean anything to anyone? Lots of the code 
looks to be Modula2, so maybe it's an M2 thing...

I'm sifting through stuff... slowly. Unfortunately a lot of my disk images are 
corrupt, but I'm not sure at what point the corruption occurred - the 
originals should still be on a hard disk back in UK and hopefully they're 
still intact; I'll get to them sometime next year. (I do have all the original 
media, too, but I'm worried about how well it'll survived being shipped across 
the Pond)

cheers
