APDL was the first independent Public Domain and Shareware library for the Acorn Archimedes computer. It was formed just after the first machine appeared in 1987. Thats why it doesnt have a fancy name, it was the Archimedes Public Domain Library. Other libraries have come and gone, but APDL is still here. In fact, weve been around so long that even Acorn Computers have vanished and the Archimedes name for their original RISC processor machines is almost forgotten. During those early years we expanded and took over the three other major libraries, DataStream, Arch Angel and The Datafile. With the expansion of the internet most of our business is no longer concerned with PD and Shareware. However, our PD CDs contain over 600 Mb of compressed material each, much of it no longer available elsewhere. It would take weeks of browsing to find just a fraction of this on the internet.
