Everybody is talking about RISC OS 6.20 it seems but it is really hard to get
any information about it. It is not even clear whether it is already
available? Do I have to be just a little bit more patient or am I missing
something? Did somebody see it on the Christmas show? I was there and had not
much time unfortunately. I shortly looked at the RISC OS stand but it was not
obvious to me that there was a new version of Select shown.

RISC OS 6.20 was demonstrated on Saturday at the Birmingham show. I had a
brief play with a few of the monitor output control features.

RISCOS Ltd have said on the Select mailing list it will be available 'soon'

I'm no longer a RISC OS user nor a Select subscriber nor a Select
project contributor, but this evening I happen to have come into the
possession of some screenshots of 6.20. Subscribers just got a disc in
the post of the latest version. It appears there's more buttons on the
Filer toolbar, a preview frame in Filer windows like Microsoft's
Explorer, and a rearranged Task Manager (which now looks confusing).
Can't see any further details on the Select mailing list nor on the
RISCOS Ltd site, of course.
