Re: The StrongArm VirtualAcorns are here!

[ATim...@aol.com]

VirtualAcorn are delighted to announce that two new VirtualAcorn products
will be launched at the Wakefield 2006 Show.

VirtualAcorn allows you to run the RISC OS 4 or RISC OS Adjust on
a Windows 2000 or Windows XP PC. Almost all RISC OS programs can
be run on the PC.

VirtualAcorn can operate inside a window, just like any other Windows
application, but can also run full screen. In full screen mode the PC looks
and feels just like a "real" Acorn computer. VirtualAcorn requires no extra
hardware to be fitted in the PC and can be installed in minutes.

VirtualRPC-SA builds on the success of VirtualRPC-SE, it includes the
industry standard RISC OS 4.02 operating system but includes StrongArm
and Arm7500 processors, in addition to the Arm710 processor supplied
with VirtualRPC-SE.

A StrongArm version of VirtualRPC-Adjust, which comes with RISC OS 4.39,
will also be launched at the Wakefield show. These new StrongArm
VirtualAcorns include a number of new features including:

StrongArm, ARM710 and ARM7500 processor cores.

HostFS2 allowing on the fly creation and deletion of mounts from
within RISC OS.

DrivePop HostFS Mount manager allows one click setup of cameras
and pen drives.

Faster screen update with support for a greater range of resolutions.

AutoMode configuration plugin to generate correct mode sets for
non standard display sizes.

Mappings for files generated by the Windows version of OvationPro.

Includes WinClip, allowing RISC OS to read and write to the Windows
clipboard.

Includes CallWin32 podule to allow communication between RISC OS
and Windows.

Autolaunch files under Windows from inside RISC OS with the
VirtualAcorn Windows Controller.

Improved battery manager with user configurable delay between
battery checks.

Includes complete version of First Steps with RISC OS 4, as published
by Alligata Media.

Improved version of the RISC OS user guide.

Updated applications including new versions of NetSurf, KinoAmp and
WebsterLT.

Updated !System folder with the latest modules included.

RISCOS side VirtualAcorn user guide now split into separate chapters for
ease of printing.

Upgrades for existing users will be available both at the show and my mail
order.
The following upgrades are available:

licence sticker.
