- Acorn have released a disc of updated and new applications for use with RISC
- OS. The applications include a new !PrinterDM,!PrinterPS plus two new
- printer driver !PrinterIx for Integrex printers and !PrinterLJ for Hewlett
- Packard and compatible printers. Other applications include a new !65Host
- which has been substantially improved, it now incorporates full BBC sound
- emulation, printing, DFS directory structure emulation and significant speed
- improvements. The other utilities available are mainly new modules including
- new Econet modules for use with Econet networks. The new and extra
- applications can be obtained from either SID or from your local Acorn
- dealer. Please contact your dealer as there may be a small service charge
- for downloading this software. Please note we are unable to supply these
- applications directly from Customer Services.

- Acorn have also recently released the long awaited new Master 128 operating
- system. It contains many improvements over the present operating system
- including extra commands,extensions to existing commands,a relocator to use
- with programs that are run under the 6502 Second Processor, increased speed
- in some areas, extended 8 bit character handling for foreign language use.
- It should be noted that although present software is highly compatible with
- existing software application software it is not 100% compatible due, in
- particular, to the 8 bit extended character handling, for this reason we
- suggest you contact the manufacturer of existing third party software you
- wish to run under the new operating to ensure it will run correctly.
