If they can be upgraded to RO2, why can't you upgrade them to RO3.1?


If you want, when I get my 3.10 upgrade (yawn) you can have my 3.0 Roms (price

Bug???.... it only saves those CMOS settings you see in the window.

 That's how it is set up in RISC OS 3.0, and I've had my whole machine 
crash, a new mother board installed, and just yesterday the CMOS settings were
 stuffed by a power surge (don't ask me how/why).... I've got no complaints; 
and I've been using RISC 3.x longer than you.

P.s. I find the only settings I need alter after doing an *R-Reset* is the 
ADFSBUFFERS and the PRINTERBUFFERSIZE!

So I guess the "load register" and "store register" we all know and love, wil
have to become "prenez" and "mettre" respectively....:-) 

Yeah , yeah, I know these don't mean load and store, but it was years ago
after all.

Originator: 91670332@muser

Having just got back from summer holidays I've waded through all the c.s.a.
articles and a couple of things have tickled my fancy.

Firstly, could someone tell me about this proposed meet at the BAU show. I am
planning to go, since I found out it was only 3 hours from Braford by train,
and it would be nice to meet some CSA'ers. Could someone email me?

Secondly, I noticed something about a Demo-writing competition. Again, could
someone email me some info? I've written 3 demos to date, the first was really
rather mediocre (it WAS my first piece of ARM code over 10 lines!), but the 2nd
and 3rd are not bad by my reckoning. I'll post them to Manchester or Newcastle
soonish.

Sorry if these questions cover things that have been talked to death, but the
original postings are long since expired here.

Thanks, Graham

I am looking for a filesystem that

- offers at least 32 character filenames
- offers an 'infinite' number of directory entries.
I only need high-level access routines, such as creating/removing files,
reading, writing, and all of the directory stuff. Is there any such thing
available for free?

I realise that we all have different opinions on which languages things should be

blatant personal abuse.

i.e.

If you must argue, please do it via e-mail.....so that the rest of us who want to

to wade through page after page of abuse.

The whole subject seems to have got wildly out of control, and frankly I'm sick

I have just used RiscOs 3.1 for the first time. We upgraded from v2.
After about 15mins play around (who needs instructions!) this is what I have
to say......

MUCH better than v2 overall..

Applications in ROM...
Draw with an undo function and edit text. (this is great. How many times have
you written a whole line and found a mistake. Now you can just change it 
without typing the whole line again.You can also rotate any font except the
system font)

I *love* the background disk formatting etc. (I might get around to formatting
some floppies now it's not as boring!)

The bug about clicking on the Info (Name:) in Task Manager is crap.

The configure program is *much* better! (and friendlier to use)

I will probably write more stuff when I've had another go!!!

I phoned Norwich Computer Services today to see what was happening.  I was

from Acorn.  As it's now over a month since Archive announced it's availability,
they seem to be managing just over two a day :-(

To answer your main question first - you can't. !Edit doesn't handle tab
characters the way other computers do, it just displays them as [09].
Selecting "Expand tabs" simply replaces them with space characters
rather than formatting the file as you might expect. Try StrongEd if you
want "real" tabs.

 Yep, I think you had a syntax error .. :-)  Saying that 'it is

The first implies that most people think that you _should_ do X.

   Do other people remember a certain prat talking about a bug in RO 3.10
regarding menu clicking on the Info window of the Task Manager? Well I did
and when I was helping, well watching, a friend upgrade the A5000 we use
with 3.10 I decided to check on the validity of this claim. Low and behold
the bug refused to manifest itself.

   Now this really gets my goat as a direct result of this 'rumour' being
started a great discussion about the 'bugs' of RO 3.1 resulted. And the
funny thing is none of the alleged bugs reported thus far by these rumour
mills has been verified. This news group is a great way to get uptodate
information about what is happening in the Acorn world, but rumours like the
above mentioned one undermine the usefulness of this group. Especially when
the rumour is presented as fact.

   So why am I griping about this? To ask people who are thinking of
spreading these rumour could they actually spend a whole thirty seconds
actually *checking* them out? It would make this group a whole lot more
pleasant to use...

   Finally after having seen Risc OS 3.10 I want to congratulate Acorn on a
job well done. Not is Risc OS 3.10 *not* slower than 3.0 it is infact
faster. The difference working ADFSBuffers makes is amazing and that
combined with other bug fixes makes this, IMO, an excellent peice of work.
Also for those who want a laugh take a template editor and examine the
'power' template in the Switcher's resource directory...

P.S. So when is Risc OS 4 coming out? :-)

I would like to make my roms switchable too. How do you do it?

I will shortly be getting my first Arc, and at the same time I want to
invest in a good multisync monitor. I am interested in any opinions anyone
has about the current crop available from NEC (3FG, 4FG etc), the taxan
and eizo ones. The NEC ones look particularly good at the moment with their
15" FST tubes.
	All comments will be gratefully received,
