- RISC OS 3 PRM Released
- Release Date 12.5.93
-
- Acorn Computers has released the latest version of its Programmers'
- Reference Manual containing all the information required to exploit the
- features of RISC OS 3.
-
- The manual has been totally restructured to take account of the differences
- between programming for RISC OS 2 and RISC OS 3 and is now in excess of
- 3,000 pages long - almost double the size of the original PRM.
-
- The manual is contained in four high quality, compact bound volumes plus an
- additional index volume. It will also include a newly revised RISC OS Style
- Guide, available from the autumn. (Those who buy the new PRM before this
- date will be sent a copy of the Style Guide as soon as it is available.)
-
- Acorn's Product Manager, Neil Gardner explained that the new manuals had
- been designed with ease of use in mind. "As an added bonus, we have included
- many programming examples in the text, and there are also detailed sections
- describing ways to exploit the various aspects of programming for RISC OS."
- he said.
-
- The Programmers' Reference Manual costs #99.
-
- Upgrades for existing owners of the RISC OS 2 PRM are available for #59,
- plus #4 postage and packing, from Vector Services Ltd., 13 Dennington Road,
- Wellingborough, Northants, NN8 2RL. Cheques should be made payable to "Acorn
- Direct" and the index front cover of the old manual only should be sent as
- proof of ownership of the RISC OS 2 version.
