INTERNET STARTER-PACK FOR ACORN RISC OS 3.1 COMPUTERS (v 1.2)
=============================================================

StarterPak = Acorn ".spk" archive file = 1.45MB approx

This is the Internet Starter-Pack configured for Demon users.
To get going, download the two files "sparkplug" and "StarterPak".
(Set for binary mode transfer if via the Internet)

When you have the files on disc, settype the file sparkplug
to BASIC and double-click on it.  This creates !SparkPlug, which
you should then run.  Drag the file "StarterPak" onto the Sparkplug
icon, which should open up a filer window with lots of goodies.
Do a "select all" then drag them out of the archive into a filer
window on your hard disc.

NB. Read the StarterFAQ for full installation instructions.
The StarterFAQ is in the Docs 

Remember that after you have dragged the applications out of the archive
and onto disc that you need to either;

(1) run all the !Boot files inside all the applications, or 
(2) reboot the machine before running any of the programs as Risc OS will 
be pointing to the programs in the archive, not the new copies on the disc.

I hope you find the Starter-Pack useful! I am extremely grateful to the
various software authors who have allowed their programs to be included
here. If you have any comments or suggestions about how I could improve
the pack - please contact me via Arcade BB (gah) or 
                                 Email (alan@midwife.demon.co.uk)
