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
