The April 2021 issue of 'The WROCC' -- the newsletter of the Wakefield RISC
OS Computer Club -- is on its way out to members across the UK and beyond
this week.
Our 39th Volume starts with the April 2021 issue, where we look forward to
the Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Computer Show taking place later in the month.
We revisit our previous review of MPData+ with a look at the changes in
version 2, and investigate what is required to create a good application
icon for RISC OS. There's a report on our March meeting, which saw Phil Pemberton talking about the work of the Acorn Preservation Team and Andy
Marks from RISCOSbits showing some of his new products. One of our members considers the rise of modern technology, and we take a brief look at Chris Hall's disc cataloguing application, Cat.
See
https://www.wrocc.org.uk/newsletter for more details of recent issues,
and to download samples of older issues.
Able to trace its roots directly back to the first Wakefield Club newsletter
in April 1983, these days 'The WROCC' is produced in an A5 booklet layout
and copies are delivered free to WROCC members in PDF format. Membership of
the Club costs 15ukp per year with a reduced rate of 7.50ukp for the first year... and despite our name, there are no geographical restrictions.
The Wakefield Back Catalogue Issue 10
-------------------------------------
Relaunched following the completion of Volume 37 of 'The WROCC' in April
2020, the tenth edition of The Wakefield Back Catalogue contains PDF copies
of the Club's monthly newsletters going from 'The WROCC' and 'Awake' right
back to the very first "hints & tips" sheet handed out at the April 1983 meeting.
Originally intended for release at the 2020 Wakefield Show, the new
compilation contains around 408 issues and is available as a download in
these more 'virtual' times. It costs 7.50ukp for non-members, whilst members can buy it for the discounted price of 5.00ukp. See
https://www.wrocc.org.uk/newsletter for more details.
