The WROCC Vol 41 Issue 7 Out Now

The October 2023 issue of The WROCC – the newsletter of the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club – is on its way out to members across the UK and beyond this week.

In this issue, In October 2023, we take a look at using the PlingStore to distribute software, a Club member tells of his return to BASIC programming, and there’s an investigation into a strange bug involving command line aliases. We also look at a number of software titles, including the recent port of the Porklike game to the platform, using ConvImgs to make JPEGs which display correctly on RISC OS| 4.02, and some hints and tips for using NetFetch efficiently*.

See https://www.wrocc.org.uk/newsletter for more details of recent issues, and to download samples of older issues.

Able to trace its roots directly back to the first Wakefield Club newsletter in April 1983, these days The WROCC is produced in an A5 booklet layout and copies are delivered free to WROCC members in PDF format. Membership of the Club costs £7.50 per year… and despite our name, there are no geographical restrictions.
