On Sale 26th October - The Giant Book of Applications 40 type-in listings for RISC OS

The Giant Book of Applications – 40 type-in listings for RISC OS

This book builds on the hugely popular The Application Tutorial and Listings Book by providing 40 more multitasking ‘Wimp’ programs for RISC OS.

The pages of listings include ‘bolt-ons’ to the standard suite of RISC OS desktop apps – a powerful script-based find/replace for Edit, a tool to use outline fonts in Paint plus several Draw utilities like custom dashed lines, rounded boxes and hatched fills. Create tables and convert Impression to HTML with ease. Process images en masse and convert Microsoft™ Wave files to RISC OS and edit them in a sound sample editor. Productivity aids come in the form of Recall (an application dock), emulator file extension manager plus a number of leisure pursuits (games and desktop ‘sillies’).

The book is entirely self-contained and you need nothing more than your RISC OS machine and time to enter listings at the keyboard. User-level instructions as well as technical commentary accompanies each program. The only code library is an appendix of short BBC Basic procedures, there are also hints and tips for writing your own RISC OS applications. Just one application could retail for the price of this book so with 40 of them at your fingertips this publication represents oustanding value for money.

THE GIANT BOOK OF APPLICATIONS is released at the London RISC OS Show on 26th October. Buy and take home your copy at the special introductory price of GBP20.00. Plus there is a limited time offer for getting all 40 applications ‘typed in’ and ready to run!
