If it wasn’t for that fact that we know David Feugey we’d be using the “If something seems too good to be true….” saying! |

Got my copy of BASIC DDE today. Amazing offer, really! |

Some people told me that their mail providers see the archive as potential virus. |

20 licenses offered, and still a lot to give… |

I’ve been a bit reticent about requesting one of these, because I’ve never felt the need to compile my BASIC programs – generally they run fast enough to keep me happy, and on the rare occasions they don’t I just write heavily used bits in assembler, to be assembled at runtime. But if they’re really not going, give me one and I’ll give it a whirl. I don’t promise to make really good use of it though, so do give it to someone else if there are other takers. |

Just send a screenshot :) |
Clive Semmens (2335) 3276 posts |
There’s one here: http://clive.semmens.org.uk/RISCOS/screen.jpg – is that the sort of thing you want? It’s a 3840×2160 screenshot, with a 1920×1200 screenshot in a window, amongst other things. Or is there something in particular you’d like on screen? |
David Feugey (2125) 2709 posts |
As you want. This one seems to be OK.I’m waiting for the mail… |
Clive Semmens (2335) 3276 posts |
Not sure exactly what you’ll be doing with the screenshots, so I’ve made a new one without my email address on it – and sent it to you. Not that my email address is at all private really – it’s on my website which is public. It’s not a 4K one this time though. |
David Feugey (2125) 2709 posts |
See first message…

I missed that bit – I can’t see me being bothered if visitors to RISC OS FR want to email me… 8~) …if you want to use the 4K screenshot as well, feel free – I can send you the original sprite instead of the jpg if that would be better. |
David Feugey (2125) 2709 posts |
No problem. The more I’ll get, the better it will be. |

Are there any left, David? I sent a screenshot but haven’t heard back. I’m new to RISC OS so my screenshot’s a bit bland but let me know if you need anything else. |
David Feugey (2125) 2709 posts |
I send it to you the same day I receive the screenshot. Can you please check your spam folder? And don’t worry. We have a lot of licences. |
mikko (3145) 123 posts |
Aha! Curséd Gmail. |
David Feugey (2125) 2709 posts |
Almost 30 licences distributed. We still have a lot of them, so just send us an email with your screenshot. |

Found my copy buried in the spam folder. The pdf manual for toolbox does not open, otherwise everything is working perfectly. What a fantastic initiative, thank you very much. |
David Feugey (2125) 2709 posts |
Works here with the latest version of !PDF
I still have licences. |
Norman Lawrence (3005) 172 posts |
