extASM 2.00 released
I'm delighted to announce the immediate availability of the latest
version of the extASM ARM assembler.
This is a major upgrade of the previous version, version 1.00,
released in 1995.
The previous version supported ARM2/3/6 (i.e. up to ARMv3). This
version supports all the instructions of the last version of the ARM
architecture, ARMv7, which is used by ARM Cortex A8 and A9 (as used by
Beagleboard and Touch Book, among others), excluding the Thumb
instructions.
Major additions include the Advanced SIMD and VFP instructions.
extASM is released as GPL, and includes full source

Re: APDL at the Wakefield show
For the first time since the Wakefield RISC OS show began APDL will be
unable to attend this year.
We have therefore made arrangements with STD to represent us. Although
they will not be able to have our huge range of products on display
there will be very special offers on all APDL, iSV Products and
4th Dimension software available at the show.
Please visit the STD stand at the show for more information.

The delay is due to the fact that I am stuck in Lubeck, Germany. I am

Note that if you already have installed an earlier version of Murnong,
you only need to download Part 1 and install its contents over the top
of your existing installation.
Because YouTube's webpage format is quite variable, reliably extracting

I've updated my website with new graphic material. All the new work is
based on circular geometric designs many using ArtWorks blends.
Martin Bazley has updated his excellent spirograph simulator - Cogs. I
have used several of the rendered spirographs embellished in AW to
demonstrate the capabilities of the program.
AW can also be used for simple animation as the latest example
illustrates.

!GetFiler - new program from APDL
After seeing some recent comments about Obey files to open filer
directories I have just released a new program, !GetFiler.
This will let you easily create Obey files to open filer windows at any
location on screen and with your chosen characteristics. It should
work on any OS from 3.1 to 6.20 and on any hardware. It is based on
routines I wrote for a new version of MenuBar that I've been working on
for some time.
!GetFiler is Freeware and can be downloaded from the APDL web site.

Re: The APDL PD library now available online
There has recently been a lot of interest and requests for some of the
older P.D. and Freeware programs for RISC OS computers. As the oldest
established RISC OS P.D. library APDL has a massive collection of this
material, much of it not available elsewhere. Although this can still be
obtained very cheaply on CD this isn't always a suitable medium.
We have therefore decided to make almost the entire P.D. library
available from the APDL website. This is done on a disc-by-disc basis
and so reflects the original P.D. library catalogue system.

R-Comp / RCI at SW show (UniPrint 4, RISCubes, RISCBooks, Mpro)
With the SW show just a few days hence, we thought we'd drop a line
and let people know what to expect. We'd also urge anyone in the area
to get to the show, because all shows need visitors!
Latest RISCube and RISCBook advances
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2010 has already seen a number of advancements on planet RISCube! At
the show, you'll be able to see a RISCube driving multiple screens
digitally for best picture quality, a "first" on RISC OS, as far as
we're aware. We'll also be demonstrating how modern monitors can
offer "portrait" mode, for more producti

ieba (Independent Eight Bit Association)
Some readers here may remember a Group I set up with others to provide and
exchange information between users of 8-bit computers.
Well, one of the founders has passed away (died, that is) and Gordon
Woolliscroft and I thought that as the whole 8bit scene has dwindled we
ought to wind the thing up and put the money to good use, so that's what
we've just done.
There was about 600 English pounds in the account (my, that interest did
mount up) so we have decided to split it 50/50 between a kidney research
charity and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
We hope that meets

Re: Easier software purchase from APDL
More and more people are now using RISC OS under emulation. Modern
computers often don't have a floppy drive and may not have a CD ROM
drive which can be accessed properly from within emulated RISC OS.
This can make the installation of software supplied on physical
media difficult.
We have therefore now made many titles in the APDL, iSV Products and
4th Dimension ranges available by download. This makes it much more
convenient for users who don't have traditional RISC OS computers.
It is also cheaper for purchasers who are prepared to forgo physical
media and printed manuals, espe

RONWUG Reminder 17th February 2010
RONWUG - RISC OS North West User Group - 17th February 2010
If all goes to plan, at this month's meeting, we will have Derek Haslam
talking about BBC BASIC and covering a little-used feature of the language.
We're also likely to be doing a bit of work on a user's Risc PC.
Don't forget - it's this Wednesday, see you there.
If you have an idea for a topic at RONWUG - either one you'd like to do
yourself, or maybe a request for someone else to do, please let us know.

Although most North West members are unlikely to travel that far, t

Boost your ADSL speed with an iPlate?
An iPlate may boost an ADSL's download and/or upload speed significantly,
but not always, so we are offering an iPlate trial!
On a statistically insignificant sample size of three locations we found
between 0% & 71% speed increase in download speed and between 0% & 55% speed
increase in upload speed, though we have also heard reports of speed
reductions!
Hire an iPlate for a month for 4GBP (plus 7GBP deposit) and see if it is
worth it for you. If not, return it and we will refund your deposit, or keep
it and have nothing further to pay!
An iPlate can only be fitted to a NTE5 Mas

Bugfixed !RunImage for FFmpeg 1.04
FFmpeg is a versatile, open-source, multi-platform video and audio
converter.
A rather embarrassing bug has existed in !FFmpeg 1.04 since its release
on 22 December 2009. This bug meant that the Quality settings in the
Convert dialogue were mostly ignored.
The full FFmpeg archive is a very large download (for a RISC OS
application) so I have released a tiny 6KB patch that restores operation
of the Quality settings. I recommend that all FFmpeg users download this
patch via <http://www.users.on.net/~belles/software/ffmpeg/>.
Note that if you have already downloaded FFmpeg 1.04, th

New mailing list for RISC OS users in the Bristol area
Newsgroups: comp.sys.acorn.announce
Followup-To: comp.sys.acorn.misc
From: "Trevor Johnson"
Two RISC OS enthusiasts in Bristol are investigating scope for starting a
new Bristol RISC OS user group. The previous group closed down in 2006 but
the shared source initiative of RISC OS Open Ltd may be generating a need
once more.
Vince Hudd and Trevor Johnson have agreed to try to gauge interest, with a
view to developing longer term plans to serve the wider Bristol area.
The first stage is the setting up of a mailing list for RISC OS users in
Bristol and the surrounding area. This

!MultiTask
Utility !MultiTask now updated and available for download from
http://www.svrsig.org/software/MultiTask.htm - this application
simply sits on the desktop. When developing BASIC programmes, simply
drop them onto its icon bar icon and they are loaded into BASIC. At
the same time the CSD is set to the directory the programme came from
allowing simple 'SAVE' 'OPENOUT' etc. commands to operate correctly. A
little 'quick and dirty' but I have found it very useful.
It also allows simple Draw files to be analysed and will generate a
BASIC programme to regenerate the draw objects in the
