32 Bit Conversions

This page contains RISC OS applications and modules that have been converted to 32 bit by David J. Ruck. (except where stated). In some cases without permission of the original authors, who I have not been able to contact. If you are the author or copyright holder of any of these progams, please contact me so I can pass on to you the necessary changes. I will remove software if there are any objections to it being here.

Some programs require the 32 bit Shared C Library. Many of the programs will no longer work on pre-ARM6 (RISC OS 3.1) machines, the original 26 bit versions should be used on these machines. All programs have been tested under RISC OS Select and RISC OS 5 on the Iyonix. I am not offering support for the programs themselves, but if problems are found with the conversion please let me know.

My !ARMalyser utility has been used in the conversion of many of these programs.

Many thanks to Stuart Halliday and Quantum Software for hosting this page.

OSSys 1.70 (12 Nov 1989) 2.50 (01-Jan-2003) Enabled SWI's to be issued from the command line.
Fix to original version which used self modifying code (but happened to work on a StrongARM anyway). Extended to allow the use of R0 to R9 as parameters for issuing OS_Hardware calls.

[SaveWritable]
SaveWritable 1.00 (20 Nov 1997) 2.00 (23-Dec-2002) Allows the text of an icon to be saved via a standard save box when Shift+Ctrl+Menu is pressed.
Altered to use Wimp_PollIdle to reduce CPU Load.
