Acorn Access Tools

This is a set of tools, probably now totally irrelevant, that I put together to simplify deployment of Acorn Access, a peer-to-peer networking solution from Acorn. Please note that these tools should be used carefully. Read the notes. If any of these tools cause your machine to blow up, grow legs or otherwise misbehave, it's probably your fault anyway for moving past the quill pen. These applications have been tested a lot, but never been finished, whatever that might mean. There is very little deeply technical stuff. Mostly, it's me being lazy and trying to save time.
To download anything, click on either the icon or the "Download..." link. All files are zipped.

3.6	!MakeServe is the basic tool. This package contains it and most of the other bits below. Please note that there are two versions. This one requires your "server" to be running RISC OS 3.6. All files are reasonably well annotated. Download !MakeServe for RISC OS 3.6
3.7	!MakeServe is the basic tool. This package contains it and most of the other bits below. Please note that there are two versions. This one requires your "server" to be running RISC OS 3.7. All files are reasonably well annotated. Download !MakeServe for RISC OS 3.7
	!Netreset is a simple tool to reconfigure a RiscOS 3.1 machine as a client on an Acorn Access+ network. Download !NetReset.
	Patches to the !Run files of a few programs. To secure stuff, I tended to use the -readonly flag. The programs patched by these files didn't like this. Download Patches.
	!ResetPbrd is a quick method of re-running the Pinboard on a client station. It's worth putting this on all client pinboards. Download !ResetPbrd.
	!SetMaster simplifies setting up the Pinboard on a RISC OS 3.6 or 3.7 Master Sharer computer. It could easily be modified for a normal machine, I suppose. Download !SetMaster
	!SetPin does for the Clients what !Setmaster does for the Master Sharer. Please note that there is and must be a difference. It's silly to link to a share from the machine creating the share for a lot of stuff. Download !Setpin
	!Setup1 does the donkey work of opening directories to ensure correct shared paths. Specifically, the Apps share. Download !SetUp1
	!SetUp2 does the same sort of thing as above, except it opens the Work share. Download !SetUp2
	!ShareKill share the Killer directory across the network. It assumes that you have that program, and a licence for it, and that it's installed to its default location. Download !ShareKill
