 Wow - you've found a decent Archimedes emulator? Where?

Red Squirrel

works ok for me. It's not perfect, but it runs most things OK.

Things it doesn't manage generally run with Archie 
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Campus/5427/) but I have to get to
DOS to run that.

If we're heading off topic anyway, I don't suppose if someone with the magazine 
could 
check quickly whether my small emulator, ElectrEm (it does the Acorn Electron) 
is in 
there? They don't seem to stock it at local newsagents, so I'm curious.

The emulator articles (by Simon N Goodwin) have been running for around
year I think, with the latest (and last?) covering more Z80-based
machines.  I'd imagine ElectrEm will be in one of the previous issues,
along with BBC emulators, though I don't know exactly which issue
(Tim?).

The SAM piece started with a brief history, and had some kind words at
the end, but mainly covered basic usage of the emulator - nothing fancy,
but it was nice to have a mention.  It was Simon N Goodwin's reminder
about the up-coming article that prompted me to finish off the new GUI
too!

Yeah, most newsagents I tried didn't have it, but I did find it in
W.H.Smiths.  I've wangled a subscription now, which certainly makes
things easier!

Acorns were covered in the March 2002 issue.

ElectrEm got a mention, about a 1/6th ogf a page worht, although I can't
spot it on the cover disk (unless it has a non-obvious name).  The home page
for it was included in the links sections at the end of the article though.
