• Updates from Sine Nomine Software

    From Graham Pickles@21:1/5 to Matthew Phillips on Thu May 13 11:14:04 2021
    Having wrestled with downloading and using a Microsoft program
    at length (and failing !) it was a delight to have simple and clear instructions which enabled me to quickly update my previous copy of
    RiscOSM and also to download/instal Recce for the first time. I shall
    find both these Risc programs very useful on a current personal project.

    Well done Matthew and Hilary - others (e.g. Microsoft) could usefully
    learn from you about instructions on how to proceed.

    Regards,

    Impact 3.60 relational database and ImpEmail 1.20 email merge

    Version 2.02 adds

    * two more small speed enhancements
    * corrections to interpretation of normal/daylight-saving time for tracks

    waypoints when saving as a Draw file.

    Important note about CPUClock

    We have had several reports of strange errors in RiscOSM over the past couple >of months. These have been tracked down to a faulty version of CPUClock which >was corrupting the floating point environment. If you have CPUClock 2.08, >please upgrade to CPUClock 2.09. Many thanks to Chris Johnson for tracking >down this issue quickly. >http://www.chrisjohnson.plus.com/software/cpuclock.html

    SuperDoku 1.32

    A new version of SuperDoku, the puzzle generator and solver, has received a >small update: literally adding an equals sign to one line of the source code. >This corrects a bug which meant the software was unable to solve the Hard >Futoshiki puzzle in the 23 April Guardian Weekly. Other puzzles may have been >affected too. Actually the hints have been improved as well, so it was a bit >more than a single equals sign. See our general software page for the >download.

    I'm glad you found the process straightforward.
