Bob Pollard, author of the internationally renowned TechWriter and EasiWriter range of software and chief programmer at Icon Technology,has recently passed away after a long illness.
He will be sadly missed
Bob leaves a widow, Reena
All of us here at myriscos.co.uk pass on our deepest condolences at this sad time.

Introducing: Your new Editor for Acorn User Magazine


Mr Michael Stubbs

In preparation for Christmas, the Cerilica web site has received some useful updates aimed at both existing and potential customers. Some new resources have been uploaded for Vantage users including a native file copy of the new great looking Cerilica pamphlet.


Cerilica is also due to attend the last RISC OS show of the year held in the Midlands. Thanks go, once more, to the ARM Club for organising this event.

The next meeting of the Manchester Acorn User Group will be:

• !Photostitch (finally)
  
  Presented by its author, Dr J.D. Pearson
  
• 6:45pm for 7:30pm, Wednesday 21st November 2001
  

Trafford Metrovick Rugby & Cricket Club

Finnybank Road

Sale

Cheshire

M33 6LR


This is a demo which has been arranged previously, however had to be postponed due to lack of time on one occasion, and software clashes on the demo machine on another.

Melotech has announced some special offers for Christmas...

Melotech is delighted to announce the immediate availability of EasyGCC,a freeware GCC compiler front end...

It is with regret that I have to announce that I will not, after all, be editing Acorn User magazine.

When it was announced that I would edit the magazine a group of us were at an advanced stage of negotiations with a director of Tau Press to purchase Acorn User magazine. We understood that it had been agreed that two of our group would work on the magazine for a limited time prior to purchase. Soon after the announcement was made it became clear that Tau Press no longer had any interest in such an agreement. They were no longer willing to sell the magazine.

Melotech has available two re-engineered RiscPCs, with more on the way.

Ive stumbled across a strange web-site selling flight sims for the Acorn. Never seen this before, does anyone have any of these games or know anything about them? Very strange. Cant find any reviews for them.

Emergency announcement




We regret to announce that David Atkins of MicroDigital has, due to a personal crisis, had to cancel his visit to Wakefield today.




David was looking forward to showing us the final working prototype and taking questions from visitors. Due to short notice, nobody else from MicroDigital was available to step in. David sends his apologies.




The Wakefield Acorn Computer Group meeting will still be taking place, but with an alternative event. This is likely to be a PD night, showing various bits of software on RISC OS.




We apologise for the short notice.

Although I had not known Mike as long as many others, I felt that we had become good friends over the last year or so. I often gave Mike a lift in the car to WACG meetings and will miss our little conversations on the journeys. Mike was very good at telling stories about his past and had some really interesting tales to tell.

Steve Potts - Wakefield Acorn Computer Group (Secretary)

On Wednesday 7th November 2001 David Atkins of MicroDigital will be talking at the Wakefield Acorn User Group's meeting.

Visitors are welcome (small fee for non-members).

David is coming to give the latest news on 'Omega' and we are hoping to see the final working prototype version....

I understand that David Atkins and the OMEGA are likely to make an appearance at the next meeting of the Wakefield Group, scheduled Wednesday 7th November. For those able to attend how about a report.

The ANS Filebase (http://filebase.acornusers.org/), a directory of RISC OS software, has been significantly enhanced with the addition of a new interface and personalisation system.
