• RISC OS 5 User Guide now free to download

    From CJE/4D Sales@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 29 17:30:10 2021
    RISC OS Open and CJE Micro's are delighted to announce that a free download
    of the User Guide for the latest stable release of RISC OS 5 is now
    available.

    Font licensing previously restricted its distribution but after discussions
    on the ROOL forum and at the Wakefield Virtual Show this year, CJE Micro's
    have generously stepped forward and paid to change that for a more
    permissive font licence.

    What's inside?
    ==============

    The book covers everything a user needs to know to make best use of the OS, from beginner's concepts such as navigating menus, setting up and
    configuring, through to a detailed description of each of the supplied applications and utilities. It weighs in at 61 chapters spanning over 600 pages.

    This edition covers the RISC OS 5.28 feature set and has:
    * 61 chapters spanning over 600 pages
    * Over 900 images or illustrations
    * A comprehensive index to rapidly dip into the text
    * Character map tables for each built in alphabet
    * 7 appendices of reference material

    as well as numerous corrections, revised or improved drawings and screenshots.

    Getting your copy
    =================

    The User Guide will be available from ROOL's "Miscellaneous downloads" page: https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/common

    Paper copies are also available to buy from ROOL's website if you prefer https://www.riscosopen.org/content/sales and via online book retailers

    Footnotes for commercial and non personal use =============================================

    If you'd like to include an electronic copy of any of the documents made available on the RISC OS Open website, please check the terms of use on page
