Reply to thread hzn: you make a good point regarding the relative value of a RiscPC compared with the cost of Select/Adjust: the latter will typically exceed the former. In fact with the benefit of hindsight, I wonder if it was wise for ROL to devote so much energy to refining 26-bit OS versions, rather than move forward earlier and faster than they actually have done. Whatever, we are where we are. FWIW, the only good reason I can see for investing in ROL is as an insurance policy, in case Castle decide to abandon ship: John Ballance's recent remark about RO being for sale at the right price alarmed me, I have to admit. Castle are by a wide margin the most professionally managed major RO company I have dealt with since the demise of Acorn.

Announcing a new website for the package, Nigel said: "It's been a steep learning curve both for me as a software publisher, and for Martin in finding his way around approaching 30,000 lines of code, but we hope an initial new version will be ready for release very soon."  1 comment, latest by jess on 23/1/09 8:56AM.
