RISC OS software

This page contains a number of downloadable programs I've written or ported. They are all intended to be run on RISC OS computers. All of these programs should now be Iyonix compatible, and source code has been included where possible.

If you have any queries, bug reports or problems with any of them, please feel free to e-mail me. Some of the programs have been published in magazines, but in all cases I retain copyright of the material. There's no charge for using any of them. You can distribute altered versions, but I'd be interested to know if you do (just for my own curiosity!).

RSS feed An RSS feed of my RISC OS software is available.

  • ButtonBar ButtonBar
    Version 1.62 (23 Aug 2005) for RISC OS.
    ButtonBar allows you to easily create and use definable button bars for any program that accepts keyboard input. Buttons can simulate key presses, menu selections or *-commands and button bars are provided for many applications (Zap, Impression Junior, etc..). It won't teach any old dogs new tricks, but it will give their tricks pretty buttons. I'd also recommend a visit to Stewart Brookes's website to download some of his excellent buttons bars.

    Version 0.01 (20 Aug 2005) for RISC OS.
    Igor is a simple Telnet server. It allows people to connect to your computer remotely and execute commands within the CLI environment provided by RISC OS. It's a really really early pre-alpha version, and is just here in case someone finds it useful or wants to improve it.

  • Decrypt Decrypt
    Version 1.01 (11 Sep 2004) for RISC OS and Windows.
    This set of programs is intended to be used for digital business cards. It allows files to be AES (Rijndael) encrypted, so that they are individually accessible only via single-use passwords (transmitted using 168 bit Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key swapping). In this way you can give people access only to certain parts of the information on the card. RISC OS and Windows front ends are included, and the code should compile for others, but requires the excellent MIRACL library.

  • Libwww Libwww
    Version 5.40 (9 Sep 2004) for RISC OS.
    This is a version of the W3C Libwww web API library. The W3C describes it as "a highly modular, general-purpose client side Web API written in C... well suited for both small and large applications, like browser/editors, robots, batch tools, etc." There are also some useful example applications included. The versions here have been set up or compiled for RISC OS.

  • XMLRPCC XMLRPCC
    Version 0.99 (9 Sep 2004) for RISC OS.
    This is a version of the XML-RPC-C API library, which allows you to make XML-RPC calls via the 'net. The XML-RPC-C website states that "XML-RPC is a quick-and-easy way to make procedure calls over the Internet. It converts the procedure call into XML document, sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response as XML. This library provides a modular implementation of XML-RPC for C and C++." The versions here have been set up or compiled for RISC OS.

  • IDCard IDCard
    Version 1.01 (20 Aug 2004) for RISC OS and Windows.
    This is an example ID card implementation using AES (Rijndael) encryption, SHA hashing and discrete logarithmic asymmetric signing. Its important features are that cards cannot be forged, and personal data can only be verified using the card, it cannot be directly read from it. See the thoughts page for more details. Executables are included for RISC OS and Windows, and the code should compile for others, but requires the excellent MIRACL library. More info...

    Version 1.03 (13 Jun 2004) for RISC OS.
    A long distance game for two players which can be played on two unconnected computers without the need for modem, serial or any other physical links. How is this amazing feat achieved? You'll just have to download it to find out! I wrote this when my girlfriend and I were living in different counties and chess seemed too passé!.

  • Smart Quotes Smart Quotes
    Version 1.52 (13 Jun 2004) for RISC OS.

  • VirtuDesk VirtuDesk
    Version 1.12 (13 Jun 2004) for RISC OS.
    Allows you to use multiple desktops. You can switch between them, effectively giving you a larger desktop area.
