Upgrades

All my RISC OS software is now available (see the links below) in a form that will work on both new 32 bit systems and older 26 bit systems.

To use 32 bit versions of programs on old 26 bit versions of RISC OS, it will usually be necessary to install a new Shared C Library. This is done by upgrading System via !Boot. Some old versions of RISC OS Select will stop you doing this unless patched.

New versions of a number of programs have been produced for ARMv7 machines like the ARMini and Beagle. The latest version of everything should work on these machines.

Below are links to the latest versions of software.
