History

I worked with a lot of computers and operating systems. There is an overview about this available.

Actual

At home I am working since 1994 on computers which are based on the operating system RISC OS.

Because RISC OS-Computers with their ARM-Processors are very fast, stable and make small usage of resources, and RISC OS is one of the best documentated operating systems and has a high flexibility, these computers are still my best choice. People, who want to know more about these computers should read the Homepage of the German Acorn Computerclub GAG.

You can send me an E-mail if you have any common or technical questions on RISC OS-Computers. I will try to answer or give you an address of a person which may be able to help you.

Downloads

The usage of the programs or the descriptions is done on your own risk.

Freeware

I wrote all of the following programs myself. They are Freeware and are packed as ZIP-Files. Unpack them for example by using SparkFS. Excuse me but an English manual is not available in the most cases. I shall change this if the programs are more professional or on your demand.

Portated Programs

All of the following programs I portated in accordance with the license or with agreement of the author to RISCOS. They are packed as ZIP-Files. Unpack them for example by using SparkFS.

!SIBOConv. Psion S3 file from/to HTML/TSV/text converter. ATTENTION: PostCardWare!

Modified Programs

Following RISC OS programs have been available as Open Source. I have modified them to my requirements.They are packed as ZIP-Files. Unpack them for example by using SparkFS.
