R-Comp/RCI Wakefield news - 32bit updates

[R-Comp]

We are pleased to announce that we will have four more applications
ready to run on the Iyonix, and available at the Wakefield show:

DataPower 2

The 32bit work on this application (3 months of work) was completed
last week, and will be released at the show, along with the new
CD edition of Datapower 2, which features an updated user interface,
expanded documentation, additional examples and tutorials, and
avoids the old protection systems.

Image Outliner

This popular program takes RISC OS sprite files as input, and
converts them to smooth, scalable draw files. It provides a
lot of flexibility over the shapes produced, and you can
fine tune things easily within the software. Now 32bit, with
a completely revamped RISC OS 4/5 user interface.

Remote Control

We launched this product at the show in February. It allows you
to control a Windows PC from the comfort of your RISC OS
desktop. By popular demand, we have re-designed the application
with 32bit/Iyonix in mind, as well as continuing to support
RiscPC class systems. When run on the Iyonix, it provides
enhanced performance, allowing smooth running in true colour
(PC capabilities permitting), thanks to the extra speed and
networking of the Iyonix.

Quake 32

This is one of our first games releases for the Iyonix, and
is significant because Quake was always pushing the limits
of what was possible on a StrongArm RiscPC. On the Iyonix,
the game is fast and smooth, and thus allows players to
enjoy higher resolutions etc. The sound system has been
completely re-done in order for it to work on the Iyonix.

Descent 1 and 2

These games have been updated for the Iyonix, allowing
smooth gaming in high resolutions and colour depths. You
can take advantage of extra graphics features such as
transparences and smooth bilinear texture filtering for
that "3D accelerated" look. Descent 2 also now contains
working movies, giving cinematic cut sequences. At the
time of writing, they lack sound effects on the Iyonix,
but music is working.
