Chip-8	Version (26-Jan-98) Archive 7K Memory ?
Chip-8 emulator. The Chip-8 system is a simple interpreter for a 4k virtual machine around in the 70's and 80's on 1802 processor based machines and in the 90's on the HP-48c. It supports a 64x32 pixel mono display (128x64 on the Super-Chip8) and a single sound channel with one frequency. Software for the emulator can be downloaded from Paul Robson's Chip-8 emulator page.

DOSMab	Version 0.20 (31-Jul-95) Archive 2K Memory 1K
*DOSMab specifies an MSDOS extension to RISC OS filetype mapping. *DOSMab will work for all filingsystems and all filetypes, in contrast to *DOSMap which will only work on DOS filingsystems and DOS-typed files. Note: DOSMab does not work on StrongARM systems.
Dos2DTP	Version 1.01 (07-Apr-94) Archive 7K Memory 64K
Convert (DOS) text files to DTP files.

IDEFree	Version (1994) Archive 3K Memory ?
Multitasking free display for older IDE interfaces.
Library	Version 1.00 (07-Apr-94) Archive 7K Memory ?
Utilities to put into your library: Bin As *Eval with binary output Hex Idem with hexadecimal output ModList *Modules with wildcards Ptr Gives back your original mouse pointer when hourglass won't stop Show+ Neat *Show Deloos> Deletes all files (except protected ones) in 'o' directories, starting from the given directory. Purpose: easy removal of C garbage. ProtSysWrk Protects the first 32K of the memory map against illegal access. RMDel Deletes modules by number FPC Removes the Wait from the routine called when changing the shape of the mouse pointer (useful with programs which show the hourglass a lot). This is a module. Try <libaryfile> -h for more info.
MouseSpd	Version (1993) Archive 3K Memory 1K
Allows a mouse speed of non-integer numbers, e.g. 2.5.
NoBanner	Version 0.01 (05-Nov-99) Archive 1K Memory 96 bytes
NoBanner claims the DesktopWelcome service call and thusly prevents any desktop banner from being shown. This is especially useful for RISC OS 4 users as the banner disappears only seconds after the desktop has become ready. During that time the banner just blocks your view.
Project	Version 1.01 (11-Oct-95) Archive 20K Memory 16K
Small and easy to use project manager.
Proto	Version 1.00 (27-Jan-97) Archive 68K Memory 96K
When programming in C it is often necessary to create header files containing amongst others, function prototypes. Automating the creation of these files is desirable as creating them manually is a cumbersome and boring task. The Zap extension module 'ZapMJE' by Martin Ebourne provides a command, MJE_GENERATEHEADER, to do this. Unfortunately it isn't perfect, as: static functions are also included in the header file you can't automatically create new header files it can handle one file at a time only, so updating lots of header files is not an easy job ZapMJE does not work with StrongEd or (shock, horror...) Edit Proto addresses these problems and adds some extra features. The application also contains a DOS commandline version which can be integrated in Borland C++, Visual C++, etc.
RAMplify	Version 1.00d (14-Dec-97) Archive 32K Memory 32K
Do you ever find yourself running short of memory? Have you ever found yourself switching between two programs by quitting one and starting the other? If the answer is yes, then RAMplify is the program for you! With RAMplify, programs can be frozen to disc, freeing precious memory for use in other jobs. This essential time-saving product means that you will no longer have to restart applications and reload documents or images from disc - the actions which waste the longest amount of time. Instead, with RAMplify you could have swapped between programs and be working again within a split-second! You can download a demo version here. RAMplify is a commercial application and is distributed by Werewolf Software.
RAM2Disc	Version 1.05 (08-Apr-94) Archive 15K Memory 100K
Very fast copy utility. Copies an entire floppy disc (except free space) to or from RAMdisc.
RMA Manager	Version 0.01 (19-Sep-93) Archive 2K Memory 2K
This module tries to keep the fragmentation of the RAM to a minimum. However, with certain programs it can lead to problems when they access the RMA after they released it. E.g. Impression is known to do this. Especially on low memory systems, RMA Manager can be very useful.
SlowDown	Version 1.01 (07-Apr-94) Archive 4K Memory 2K
Slows down the computer.
Squasher	Version 0.07 (25-Aug-00) Archive 9K Memory ?
This program will take either a BASIC or Application program and use the Squash module which is a default RO3+ module to compress it. The compressed program, together with some decompression code is then written to an executable file. The compression factor of the routines in the Squash module aren't really too good. However, on small files it performs reasonably well. This, together with the fact that the code needed to decompress is fairly small makes Squasher the ideal tool for creating self-extracting versions of 1K and 4K coding competition entries. As a matter of fact, this 'util' was written during and for the excellent CodeCraft competition.
TabX	Version 1.10 (29-Apr-97) Archive 17K Memory 64K
Convert tabs to spaces.
TakeOff	Version 1.01 (07-Apr-94) Archive 8K Memory 3K
Application launcher.
TBase	Version 1.00 (21-Mar-2000) Archive 506K Memory N/A
TBaseLib is a C library containing database functionality. It enables programmers to quickly add data storage and retrieval features to their programs. It aims at being fast and easy to use. See the TBase pages for more information.
