Scientific Software for RISC OS
A large collection of Scientific Software for RISC OS is available from
http://wuerthner.dyndns.org/riscos.html.
RISC OS Banner Network
The RISC OS Banner Network has been moved to a faster server at
http://banners.iconbar.com/.
RISC OS Banner Network is a free to join network for any RISC OS web site,
however large or small, commercial or non-commercial. To join, you must
design and submit a banner of the usual size, then you get a user name and
password to access your statistics, and some code to insert into your
site. You also get an e-mail forwarding address which will be of the form
<user>@banners.iconbar.com.
For those who do not have an appropriate banner already, there is a link
to a site which can be used to create standard banners for use with the
network.
Current users should modify the code on their site to point directly to
iconbar in order to realise the full speed increases.
