The idea is that I'm doing things very verbosely for the purposes of the tutorial. I appreciate that but for me having to type in the same command every time would grow tedious very quickly (I'm a lousy typist). So I thought it'd be good to incorporate a few more 'tricks' to speed up the developmen...

A really nice set of tutorials, I enjoyed watching them. Keep 'm coming! I do have a few pointers (pun intended) to make life even easier. Get yourself a copy of the LineEditor module so that you can use command recall. Much easier than retyping the last command each time (or maybe that's just me be...

Try updating all 3 firmware files: BOOTCODE/BIN, START/ELF and FIXUP/DAT

If that still doesn't work, update the ROM image to the last nightly build from the RISC OS Open site.

My SD cards, updated as above, work with both an original RPi B and a RPi 3.

Can you explain to me the difference between update4.zip and HartDisk4.zip? update4.zip contains newer firmware files that are required to run RISC OS on the RPi3. HardDisc4.zip provides a disc image with !Boot and a number of useful programs. !Boot is needed to allow RISC OS to become fully functi...

The thing I wanted to do with RiscOS is to use the BBC V Basic. I cannot find from where to launch its IDE I press the F12 and I only get a tiny-non friendly cli window at the bottom which I cannot set to fullscreen or to something bigger to be usable. The CLI window will get bigger when more outpu...

There are several ways to load files into StrongED: If it's a text file then you can just double-click it. Double-click with Shift held down to load non-text files. You can also drag files or directories to the iconbar-icon. Ctrl-drag a directory to control which filetypes are loaded. If you drag a ...

StrongED can display text in three different font types: - System font - Built-in bitmap font drawn by OS - Bitmap fonts - Custom bitmap fonts drawn by StrongED - Outline fonts - Scalable fonts drawn by the FontManager I don't know what version of StrongED is included in RC-14 but I assume it's 4.69...

If 'ld' can't be found then that suggests that the system variable GCCbin$Path hasn't been set. This is normally done when you run GCC. To check if the sysvar is set open a TaskWindow using Ctrl-F12 and enter Show GCC* . If the sysvar isn't listed then you'll need to run GCC before compilation. If y...

There are no IDEs available for RISC OS but there are two good text editors that you can use; Zap and StrongED. Which of these is the best is a never ending debate so I'd suggest you try both and see which suites you best, personally I'd go for StrongED but I'm heavily biased :-). First you'll need ...

How would I open a text file that originally comes from DOS or Unix in BBC BASIC? The INPUT# statement is for reading information that was written out using PRINT#. To read a plain text file in BBC BASIC you need to use something like this: fh% = OPENIN "README/TXT" IF fh% > 0 THEN WHILE NOT EOF#fh...

This is due to the length of the row being much greater than the visable width. The LineLengh his the number of bytes required to store an entire line. Hence it's (number of pixels * bits per pixel) / 8. In 8 bpp mode it will be the same as the X resolution. In lower a bpp it will be smaller, in hi...

One of the reasons I temporarily convert BASIC files to TEXT files is so that I can write comments without a knob or whistle changing any words that just happen to be BASIC keywords into uppercase. Sometimes knobs and whistles get in the way. There are better ways to do this (apart from using BasAs...

Yesterday the file type was ffb and the programs without an error still ran ok but everytime I opened one it was in an edit window instead of the basic one that shows the line and column numbers in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I found no way of getting back to the way things were before. It...

If you're using DHCP then try clearing the gateway field. IIRC connection will fail when there's both DHCP and a gateway address.

Hi, I'm pleased to announce that StrongED 4.69 is now available from the StrongED website: http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/ Please note that this is a minimal release that contains only BaseMode. Other modes that you may wish to use have to be downloaded separately from the website (Download page ->...

I'm on the StrongEd blue-background screen having selected BASIC mode, and in the row of pictorial icons along the top, fourth from the left is a clear 'disc' icon under which I would normally expect to see 'save' and 'load' options - but if I left, centre or right click on it I only seem to see op...

Hi guys. I thought I'd have a ook at the torrent application but when i run it i get 'Path.!Run not found'. CTorrent can only be used from the command line, you can't run it as a desktop application. It therefore has no !Run file, only a !Boot file that sets up the command alias 'ctorrent'. You the...

To have a 'larger' fonts If it's the desktop font you're referring to then you can set its size using the Wimp$FontSize system variable. To see it working, press F12 and type 'Set Wimp$FontSize nnn' (without quotes) where nnn is the required size in 1/16th of a point. So, for 14 points you'd use nn...

Are there Stronghelp compatible versions of the PRM's? There are StrongHelp manuals that are similar to the PRMs that describe the APIs. They don't contain the background information that is in the PRMs, but they're a great, and quick, reference once you know the background stuff. See my earlier re...

I can understand extending a Text Editor to provide syntax based help on the lnguage beng used and the SWIs, OSBytes, OSWords, etc in order to provide some extra aid in developing aplications There's no real need to extend an editor for that, just use StrongHelp. Most modes in Zap/StrongED already ...

Ok I have looked up PackMan. PackMan is ROOL's package manager, and RiscPkg is the community package manager. No, PackMan and RiscPkg are both front-ends for the same package system. RiscPkg is older and development seems to have stopped, PackMan is more recent and is still actively being developed...

As an example, I was wandering through some Firefox config files earlier, looking for all occurences of the string "cache". After a few hits (using the interactive search), every time I hit the 'next' button it started matching on "ca" rather than "cache". Is this a known bug? I could probably recr...

SEDev

Thanks for the tip. All working now, and I'll read the help some more to learn about the other mode preferences. Apart from reading the manual, another good way to get familiar with StrongED (and other RISC OS apps) is to use interactive help. Run Help from the Apps folder on the iconbar, then hove...

StrongED allows you to pass a (selection of) text to an external tool for processing and reading the output back in. To prevent this from happening without the user knowing about it, all such actions are blocked by default. When a mode tries to call an external tool a dialogue box is put up asking t...

Yup, that helped with the second example - I can now build the exampleapp program, and run it, so that's a step forward :) I still get the same errors when building the examplemod test program though - that hasn't changed at all. Might this be the same issue as the one discussed here: https://www.r...
