The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club provides a friendly face for all things RISC OS in Yorkshire, the surrounding regions and beyond. Originally formed as the Wakefield BBC Micro User Group in 1983, it is one of the longest established RISC OS user groups and now has members all over the UK.
The group meets most months to look at subjects relating to RISC OS, publishes a monthly newsletter, The WROCC, and provides an online discussion group to keep its members informed. We also organise the annual Wakefield RISC OS Computer Show, which is now firmly established in the platform’s calendar.
For more information about the group, contact us or visit one of our meetings. You can find out more about RISC OS in our brief introduction to the operating system or discover new hints, tips and tricks in our RISC OS HowTo.
(Vol 41, No 7)
In October 2023, we take a look at using the PlingStore to distribute software, a Club member tells of his return to BASIC programming, and there’s an investigation into a strange bug involving command line aliases. We also look at a number of software titles, including the recent port of the Porklike game to the platform, using ConvImgs to make JPEGs which display correctly on RISC OS 4.02, and some hints and tips for using NetFetch efficiently.
Older issues, and free samples for non-members, are available from the newsletter area
Andy Marks will be telling us about the latest developments from RISCOSbits, including a couple of new machines that will hopefully have been launched at the MUG Xmas Market event just a few days previously.
Plus, he will be able to give some details on RISCOSbits’s brand new scheme for RISC OS, also due to be launched at the Market.
In keeping with the festive spirit, Andy will also run an online quiz at the end of the talk, with a real prize for the winner!
Please note that this is the SECOND WEDNESDAY of the month.
