These are the applications and programs which we are and have been developing for Acorn RISC OS computer systems.

A high level language compiler for a high level language very similar to C, named Griffin. It provides the basis for learning C and the principles of programming, besides being able to provide compatible with any linker and compiler currently available.
Griffin is written in C, with the exception of the parser, which is generated directly from the grammar by a parser generator, although this does in fact produce a C script for compilation. The system consists of some 780k of source code, spread over 11 modules and 28200 lines.
The compiler was originally written to act as a test-bed for some of the modules, namely the parser (to test the parser generator, which was then still in development) and the code generation suite. It was then substantially redeveloped in order to act as a demonstration of multiple-language linking under RISC OS.

Version: 1.00, Author: David J Seery
This is a complete ANSI C Compiler which when completed will be released as commercial package. It is completely compatiable with existing packages such as EasyC and Acorn C/C++.
The package is based upon the Griffin C High Level language compiler and uses a similar user-interface.
Version: 0.80, Author: Dave Thomas
This is a picture importer and exporter that enables bitmap format and encapsulated postscript images to be viewed and saved in a variety of image formats. It is also allows many types of colour alteration and effects to be applied to the image.
If you need to manipulate and handle either bitmap or encapsulated postscript images then this is the application to use.

This is most comprehensive interactive help application available on any computer system. The facilities of the package include bubble help, the ability to handle a variety of help formats, extensions to the help provided by applications, and a editor to create your own help systems.
Version: 1.00, Size: 22K, Author: Craig Beech
This is newer version of the !Help application which is provided as standard with RISC OS. It provides interactive help on using your computer. Unlike the original which was written in BASIC and use template icons to display the text, this version has been written in C and uses outline fonts in a window.
The Help application provides help dynamically on whatever you point at on the screen.
It hasn't been fully tested so if you have any problems then I would appreciate it you could contact us at our address.

A specialised file buffering system that can be used by programmers under RISC OS to provide particularly efficient random access to files present on any media. It features partial virtual memory style facilities and is packaged as a sharable relocatable module to minimise memory requirements.
