Welcome  to  the  Archimedes  with  RISC  OS!  It is Minerva's policy to
provide complete support for Users including full upward  compatability,
wherever  possible.  Users  will  be  pleased  to know that all existing
Minerva Software for the Archimedes is compatible  with  RISC  OS,  when
used in conjunction with the programs on this disk.

The  Archimedes is one of the most powerful small micro computers in the
world, opening up  a  wide  range  of  possibilities  for  applications.
Minerva  are  at the forefront of this technology with a promise of more
exciting, powerful software. All future software will be RISC OS desktop
compatible tasks designed to run  concurrently  with other RISC OS tasks
of the same nature.

The  first  of this new generation of multi-tasking aplications was Home
Accounts which, you may be surprised to know, has  been  on  sale  since
1988!  This  was  made  possible  by advanced techniques which allow the
software to run on the old Arthur 1.2  as  well  as  the  new  RISC  OS.
Multi-Delta,  the multi-tasking database system, is the first of our new
range   of   professional   business   software  which  will  include  a
spreadsheet, business graphics and art package.

Users of RISC OS will soon discover a wide range of new facilities which
are  available  to  them.  The  foremost  of  these  is full, concurrent
multi-tasking with other RISC  OS  applications.  The  ease  of  use  is
unsurpassed  with  data  being  activated  simply  by  picking it up and
dropping it where you want it actioned.

Minerva are continuing to develop a comprehensive range of multi-tasking
applications which will take full advantage of the  amazing  integration
capabilities of RISC OS. This will contribute to an easier life for you,
the User!
