Looking back through my browser history I find the zip URL on the Virtual
Acorn site is still as it was when it worked for me on the 18th of November.
Now I get the RISCWorld page.

Using Safari on the Mac, from page :-

http://www.virtualacorn.co.uk/dloadpage/varpcadjsa.htm

right click on the link the select "Save linked file to "Downloads"" and it
does just that. This is of course completely useless as the download is not
required for the Mac VRPC. More usefully Firefox, on Windows 7, permits the
same thing, right click on the link and then "Save Link As..."
