Acorn RISC iX software

New software for RISC iX

These are additional ports of software for RISC iX 1.2, I have not necessarily chosen the latest versions of them as often the older versions have better support for old UNIXs such as RISC iX.

To install:

• Download the package and copy to the risc ix machine
• Decompress the package uncompress packagename.tar.Z
• Extract the package tar xvf packagename.tar
• This will install the files to the relevant location on the machine, usually /usr/bin
