In order to further promote the use of RISC OS as a superior alternative to the flawed Microsoft Windows operating system, I have pleasure in hosting the software linked to below;
If you're a Windows luser who happens to have stumbled across this page then there is nothing for you here - unless you decide to upgrade to a superior computer platform.
This page contains either software that was either originally released by third-party developers or is my own support for third-party peripherals suitable for use with RISC OS.
A 32-bit compatible version of ABCLib (version 4.15) is available to download here (11K).
Installation
It should be placed in the !Boot.Resources.!System.310.Modules directory (just overwrite any older version already present). I would then recommend rebooting the machine. It will be detected automatically by everything that requires it.
A postscript PDF capable of driving Xerox 8550 colour laser printers (and hopefully others) in full duplex mode from the standard issue !Printers, with or without 'tumbling' (automatic rotation of the second side by 180 degrees).

I have also developed a more comprehensive application for the pre-processing of Postscript files prior to sending them to the bigger, professional printers. This application provides more comprehensive support for postscript printing options than the standard RISC OS printer driver. At present, this application was written exclusively for RISC OS Now magazine and has it's own page at www.vigay.com/software/xeroxutil.html
The MimeMap file informs RISC OS how to map filenames from other operating systems into RISC OS filetypes. For example a file called "Word.DOC" on a Windoze machine, might need to load into Techwriter, so RISC OS would need to know that .DOC files translate to 'MSWord' RISC OS filetype (so that a double-click will load into Easi/Techwriter).
Should anyone find it useful, I maintain a centrally updated MimeMap file that people are welcome to use, should it prove useful to them. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other filetypes you would like entries for. I can then keep this copy up-to-date.
Download mimemap.zip [2K]
Simply merge with !Boot or copy MimeMap into !Boot.Resources.!Internet.files
OpticalB (46K) - No top bit characters.
SansMono (103K) - Ideal for email and includes top bit characters.
Mini ToolSprites (1402 bytes) - A copy of Ian Giblin's mini toolsprites that I've modified slightly to give slimmer close/minimise icons and pale yellow depressed slider bars.
N.B. To save asking, the desktop font is set to Verdana, 9pt.
Over the years I've collected a huge range of random taglines and witty or thought-provoking proverbs to sign my emails with. I've decided to make them available in case people want to use them themselves. There are currently over 600 in the ZIP file.
Suitable for use with Pluto, AntUtils or any other application which requires each quote on a newline.
WorkSpace is an excellent little utility to manage multiple desktops. It's ideal for anyone like myself who find that they often run out of screen space when manipulating lots of windows all over the place.
I've designed a minimalist set of replacement sprites for the application and thought I'd share them here. Simply de-archive and drop over your existing copy of WorkSpace.
WorkSpace was written by David Ruck and is available from http://www.armclub.org.uk/free/.

RISC OS is a computer operating system which was originally developed by Acorn Computers Ltd in Cambridge, England for their range of desktop computers, based on the ARM chipset. It was first released in 1988 as RISC OS 2.00, having been derived from Acorn's Arthur operating system, with the addition of cooperative multitasking. The operating system takes its name from the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture used on supported systems.
Since 1988, RISC OS has been bundled with nearly every Acorn computer model, including the Archimedes range of computers, and RiscPC and A7000 computers. After the breakup of Acorn in 1998, development of RISC OS was continued by several companies, including RISCOS Ltd and Castle Technology Ltd. Also since 1998, RISC OS has been bundled with a number of ARM based 'Acorn Clone' personal computers such as the Iyonix and A9home.

Are there any printer drivers for the Canon PIXMA MP560? I have tried the driver for the i560 but do not know if it uses the same commands. Many thanks for yoyr help. Francis
Egyptians used papyrus to make sales messages and wall posters. Commercial messages and political campaign displays have been found in the ruins of Pompeii and ancient Arabia. Lost and found advertising on papyrus was common in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another cheap flights manifestation of an ancient advertising form, which is present to this day in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. The tradition of wall painting can be traced back to Indian rock art paintings that date back to 4000 BC.History tells us that Out-of-home advertising and billboards are the oldest forms of advertising.
Thanks! I would be glad to have a trial first. The rest will follow later. free ads

A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."
Tank you very much for sharing.

I like the idea of cloud computing but I'm forever going to be concerned about the security aspect of it. I also think that it's important to make backups locally.
