Here we have a comprehensive list of the other programs I have written:

!LibStore2 - a very good BASIC library storage system that comes complete
with an equally not bad WIMP library. If you can't be bothered with all that
nosense with templates and polls and stuff, then this is probably worth
getting. Also comes with a handy sprite library

!Back - a none too good at all shareware backdrop program, apparently. Nobody
registered it, anyway. Wahhh!

SpFont - a program for those of you who get impatient with the amount of time
RISC OS takes loading fonts. Comes with source code for the interested.

!Cophy - a desktop stupid that falls over and dribbles if you are stupid
enough to knock it over with a window.

!Bin - a very good bin with a tichy memory footprint (32k). Supports
outline fonts, sound fx, automatic emptying and more. Cunningly clever
feature (all my programs have at least one. Simple progs that aren't
ground-breaking are boring) is that it can be dragged right off the icon bar
and stuck to the pinboard.

Hiper Help - a hiper-text help system just like Windoze has got. Does
everything. Can be seen in action in a couple of my programs, as well as
on the ARMed Forces BBS system. It has an easy to use script language for
designing help files, does interactive help in nice boxes and is FREEWARE!
Also has a tiny memory footprint (32k for the manager, 64k for the reader)
The interface was redesigned by Chris Claydon (see ARMed Forces...) and is
now extremely stylish. Someone's going to call it ergonomic at some point...

!Setup - a windoze-style hard disc install program. PUBLIC DOMAIN! You can
fiddle with this as much as you want. Has a script language, supports option
windows and such like.

QTM - well, you know about that, don't you. If you want the complete set,
get the earlier versions for historical purposes (Or to have a good laugh at).

PinPatch - for you programmers who want to be able to stick yer icons anywhere
you damn well please, and no more of this icon bar nonsense. (Crap name, but
there you go.) Official stuff registered with Acorn, so all other PinPatches
can go away.

!ASM - nice shareware assembler. 'Tis good. I know, 'cos I use it. To write
Tanx and SpaceRoads and various other bits of gumph.

Soundz - a load of stuff that I've included in !QTM anyhow, so don't worry.

Prettify - Prettify your desktop! Nice closedown sequence, intro sequence
basically (and Windoze '95 style shutdown box. Ooooh.)

And I wrote some other stuff and all... (This list is COMPREHENSIVE, after
all)

Stuff I'm still working on
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SpaceRoads - a game! Drive your space (pea/atom) buggy down the prettily
coloured roads, complete with signs, backdrops, music and more signs.
For some obscure reason, everyone seems to get addicted to it very quickly.

MultiUtils - loads of handy stuff - CSD setter, bin prog, pinboard
replacement (currently utterly bugged), icon bar ike program, infinite
numbers of clocks, all of which can be stuck to the background.
Except !BD, for obvious reasons (it IS the backdrop, U fool)

Tanx - a nice game where you blow up your friends (or the computer if
you are a sad b--). Up to four players! Down to no players! Lots of
bombs - including nuclear weaponry... Semi-intelligent computer players
(they sometimes beat me), lots of different scenes to blow up, weather,
bombs, explosions, shops, results tables, setup screens, intro screens,
scroll texts, and stuff! Its a fairly sad little game as well, in my opinion,
but Bland likes it, and other people like it and reckon I should finish it,
so who am I to complain?

There is also a whole load of stuff that I've written and may or may not
get released... in fact too much to mention here.
