Agreed. Your posting referred to 'all these apps are on borrowed time 
and could be just as easily be broken by updates to RISC OS 6'. All I
meant to indicate that for me such an occurrence would be disastrous - 
it does assume that I would be using RISC OS 6 which at present I 
don't but I have been known to purchase a machine with a later OS 
version once in a blue moon. We have probably misunderstood each 
other.

Well AFAIK none of our programs were 'broken' with RO6, everything worked.
However there have been quite a few problems with RO 5.17/18. At first I'd
assumed this was an ARM7 problem but it now seems it's the OS. Stuff which
worked perfectly on an Iyonix with 5.16 doesn't with 5.18.

Well I think it is more precise than that as things seem to break at 
some point have changes introduced post 21st Nov 11 5.17 development.

Indeed chnages introduced at that stage cause issues with Schema 1.21 
and EasyFontPro 5.11.

It could be that the changes corrected previous broken code that these 
programmes used or they relied upon or the OS now has broken code but 
until someone with the source code to those programmes checks what is 
going on then we are all speculating.

I have sent a bug report in to the APDl email address but perhaps it 
is caught up in any spam filters as I haven't heard back yet.

I'd be more than willing to pay for an update to either program if 
they need altering though I guess it comes down to economics for APDL

Indeed.  But let's not forget that similar problems (with other software)
have affected those who keep up to date with the latest RISC OS 4/6
developments from ROL.  That was precisely my point before: any OS
development risks breaking some applications, and if those are moribund then
there isn't anything which can be done to resolve it.

The solution is either to give up on developing both RISC OS 5 and RISC OS
6, or to try and ensure that wherever possible users are running software
which can be updated.

Well that also assumes we have users willing to update which is most 
likely why we are where we are with RISC OS and it's applications.

RComp are doing a great job offering hardware and software updates 
that take advantage of that new hardware like Musicman2 , FireWorkPro 
etc and other developers are helping as well but it needs users to be 
willing to either support or pay for upgrades to keep up the momentum.

People are not going to upgrade applications if the upgrade
does not offer them anything useful, and with the small user
base that we have, it can, I imagine, be difficult to find
improvements that are useful to enough users to make the
work of upgrading worth while.

For example, I have upgraded Easiwriter six imes over the
years, but I did not pay for the last upgrade, because it
offered *me* nothing useful. I assume others found aspects
of the upgrade extremely useful, though. If the next upgrade
offers me anything useful, then I shall buy it.

Of the other applications important to me, I had to upgrade
Pipedream so that it would run under RO 4, I took upgrades
of Pluto as long as they were forthcoming. I would pay a
significant sum of money if there were a major upgrade to
Pluto so that it would handle all the increasingly common
varieties of e-mail, but that is never going to happen.

NetSurf is useful, but not important, and I would not use it
as a browser for anything critical. I do use it, in
conjunction with Edit, for adapting web pages, though.

For what I need a Spreadsheet for - addition, subtraction,
multiplication and the occasional IF, Pipedream is more than
adequate, though its main use is for documents that can also
do arithmetic.

The only paid for software I have are RiScript, which has a)
died and b) been superceeded by Ghostscript
  and
Masterfile, a fairly basic flat file database  - for me, a
glorified address book.

Otherwise, there is simply nothing else that I need, or even
want. I just had a look at R-Comp's site to be certain, and
there was absolutely nothing of interest to me there. There
is nothing paid for on my windows machines either.

Sorry, but there is no way I can keep software writers in
business, and I suspect that that may true of a number of
others.

The trouble with this attitude is that it also flows over into the Free/P.D.
area and because people are not going to try out new software the writers of
such get discouraged.

[Snip Russell's minimalist list of software.]

What no Organizer, Locate, SparkFS or BookMaker? Applications I would have
thought essential on any RISC OS version. There are of course a lot more
that I feel are necessary for me ;-).

Indeed; plus a text manipulation be it Easiwriter, Impression, or 
OvationPro. Maybe a picture editor marginally more capable than 
Paint. Back in the day, ArcFax too.

There's a whole pile of useful software, some commercial and some 
free, without which any RISC OS system would just seem...a little bit 
lacklustre.


Best wishes,

Mmnn! Prompts me to ask an important question.

Is Zap (I'm using 1.47) usable on RISC OS 5.nn ?

Well Zap v1.48 seems to come with the ARMini on RO 5.17 and now 5.18

Mind you I don't normally it.

Yes.  It's all I ever use as an editor, on the Iyonix and BB.  One
of my most used apps.

Well, two of those seem to be being kept up to date. I use Techwriter
myself.

Minimalist? No, just what I need to run my business. My RPCs
are not toys. I have no interest in trying out programs just
to see what they do.

> What no Organizer, Locate, SparkFS or BookMaker?

No, no Organiser.

I have never been attracted to electronic diaries, alarms
and such.

Otherwise, I was talking about *paid for* software, not PD /
Freeware.

Locate I have, and used a few days ago, and thanked the
author for it at the time.

As part of the same exercise I also was advised to try free
read only SparkFS, so I now have it, but there has not been
any cause to use it.

BookMaker? Well I used that when I only had Fresco as a
browser, but once I got a PC for serious web based work -
banking, hotel bookings, rail bookings, credit card
processing etc I did not need BookMaker anymore.

The dozen or so bookmarks I have in NetSurf are easily dealt
with in a linear file. And to be honest, I much prefer
Firefox's abilities to put little buttons on a tool bar
which gives me drop-down bookmarks.

Rick Murray mentioned ArcFax. Yes I have that, and used to
use it on a daily basis. But it (or maybe my fax modem) does
not seem to like a lot of modern fax machines and it ceased
to be practical.

Related to that, I also have a paid for Viewdata emulator,
which was fine, and again used to be in regular use, but
these days viewdata based booking systems have largely been
replaced by web based systems.

Rick also mentioned "a picture editor marginally more
capable than Paint". I have Variations, which gets occaional
use when updating the pictures on my web pages.

Coo! I bet you don't like big boy toy shops either ;-).

There is, even now, some seriously good commercial software on RISC OS.
WebWonder for web pages, OvationPro, or EasiWriter/Techwriter for text work.
(Version 9.00 of EasiWriter/TechWriter has vastly improved foreign text
import and document cross referencing.)

Think of how much earlier you could have thanked him if you hadn't waited so
long to try it :-).

I find that the paid for version, allowing me to create my own archives is
so much better.

So you actually do the bulk of your business work on a PC?

If you go back and read my original comments, you will see
that I have upgraded Easiwriter frequently.

I have no need for a DTP package, and I have managed so far
with using a text editor for web pages, though I have often
thought about buying WebWonder.

I used it when I needed it. I like to think that my disc is
well enough organised that I do not need to keep hunting for
files.

As posted elsewhere just last week, creating an archive is
something I would do about once every three years; I use
Infozip for that.

Oh, I also have Nuke to properly delete files that people
send by e-mail with confidential information in - usually
credit card data.

No. All booking confirmations are Pipedream documents. Other
invoices are either produced using an old program originally
written for the BBC, or are Easiwriter documents.

Pipedream is also used for working out prices and
calculating capital allowances for income tax.

Booking details are filed and interrogated by using my own
BASIC programs I wrote for the BBC.

VAT accounts and calculations for the Tour Operators Margin
Scheme VAT are done with programs I wrote for the BBC in
COMAL.

Address lists are kept in Masterfile, which I bought.

Documents that are given to customers are also all
Easiwriter documents, and so are all my order forms. Some
admin documents are done in Draw.

The only exception is my booking forms, which were created
using ClarisWorks - originally a Mac program, but then also
released in a PC Version.

[I was told many years ago at an Acorn Show in Harrogate,
when the Risc PC was launched, that Claris offered Acorn the
source code for ClarisWorks too, but they turned it down and
went ahead with Advance(?) instead. If an Acorn ClarisWorks
had been available, I would have bought that, but then might
well not have Easiwriter.]

All e-mail is in Pluto - except when away from the office,
when I use ClawsMail on a PC netbook or the e-mail
facilities on my Nokia 9300i. There is no e-mail software
installed on my desktop PC. Any e-mails that I send from
netbook or mobile and need to keep are imported into Pluto
once back in the office.

The RPC's hard disc is backed up at the end of each working
day onto another, networked, RPC uing SyncDiscs.

In the olden days I used Hard Disc Companion.

The PC is used as described above, and also for Deutsche
Bahn's rail and bus timetable software (not available for
any platform other than Windows), for a magazine cover disc
version of Quicken I use to keep my accounts and for another
cover disc program I use to reduce that size of digital
photos I am given on CD from several MB to a size suitable
for pictures on webpages.

The only important data on the PC is the accounts data
files, which are backed up to a USB stick, to my dropbox
storage, and to a PC partition on the RPC.

Open Office on the PC is used to read .docx word files that
I get sent by e-mail. They get changed to .doc files which I
can then import into Easiwriter.

Losing the PC would be a nuisance.

Losing the RPC would be a disaster, if it were not backed up
routinely onto a second RPC (kept in another room) which I
could have up and running on my desk in 5 minutes if I
needed to - as indeed I did about six years ago when the PSU
in the one then on my desk suddenly went belly up.

Are these printouts of EasiWriter documents, actual EasiWriter documents or
one of the other EasiWriter save formats?

I suspect either 1 (Printout.) or 3 (Text,RTF,Word or Html.) as unless you
have a very small RISC OS/EasiWriter using customer base the recipients
would not be able to read an EasiWriter document.

Of course they are printouts.

When you go into a hotel you hbd over a paper voucher, not
show something on a computer screen.

Of course the 'modern' way to do it - on the hotel chain websites and

several apps for that.
