Documents

Here is a smorgasbord of documents and essays that I have collected over the years. Some were written by myself, and others were written by my brother. I can take no credit for the Acorn application notes, apart from their conversion to HTML and the addition of some links. Hopefully their availability on the world wide web will encourage fellow RISC OS programmers to take advantage of the protocols described therein.
