For those of you who missed our pre-launch announcement last week, Acorn 
Computer Group is pleased to announce the availability of its World Wide Web 
pages. The URL for the site is: 

http://www.acorn.co.uk/ 

Please feel free to use the comment facility to let us know if there is 
anything that you think that we should have there that we currently don't. 

For those of you who cannot resolve names to IP addresses, the IP address is 
(currently) 136.170.131.1. However, as I have pointed out in a recent posting 
to c.s.a.advocacy, this IP number is going to change later this year, so you 
are well advised to upgrade your software so that you *can* resolve names to 
IP addresses. 

For those of you who are using a WWW browser to access our FTP site 
(ftp.acorn.co.uk), you might be interested to know that the site can now be 
accessed through the URL: 

http://www.acorn.co.uk/acorn/store/ftp/ 

This has the advantage (mainly to us!) that it places less of a strain on our 
FTP server, and also doesn't leave dead FTP processes lying around (mainly 
caused by Netscape). Anonymous FTP will continue to be available from 
ftp.acorn.co.uk, but if you are using a WWW browser, I would appreciate it if 
you would use the HTTP URL instead.
