Welcome to the self-help support group for Colton Software's Fireworkz for RISC OS (and Microsoft® Windows®).

Hopefully your questions about Fireworkz can be answered by Stuart and Gerald or the many other expert users out there!

The latest release version should propagate to most RISC OS users via PackMan but may be directly obtained from the Colton Software website under Fireworkz Downloads. Older versions may be found on the Fireworkz (Colton Software) SourceForge site.
