Downloads

	Version	Date
Application	2.12-1	13^th January 2006
VIX Version	2.12-1	13^th January 2006
Help files	2.12	10^th January 2006

If you have already downloaded version 2.12 of BookMaker, you do not need to download a complete new version; each download page include a small (6K) archive that will update version 2.12 to the latest version 2.12-1.

BookMaker comes in two distinct forms, so please select the version of BookMaker you wish to download from the options given below.

VIXen: If you use Orpheus' "Voyager" dialler, this version will integrate !BookMaker onto the !Voyager application toolbar. It will not work properly if you do not have !Voyager.
Stand alone: If you use any other dialler, or just prefer to have !BookMaker as a distinct application, use this version.

Important Notice

BookMaker has been tested on Iyonix.

Version 2.00 of BookMaker uses RISCOS Ltd's StubsG library. This means that BookMaker is 26-bit/32-bit neutral, and will run on all versions of RISC OS from 3.1 onwards, and there is no need to install the 32-bit version of SharedCLibrary.

If you are using the FreeTerm Telnet client and you wish to edit FreeTerm scripts directly from BookMaker, you will need a text editor that supports the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) protocol. Both !Zap and !StrongEd are OLE-aware, but !Edit is not.

However, !Edit can be made to work with the OLE protocol if the OLESupport module is present in your machine's modules directory. If you have the new boot structure, this should already be present. If not, check inside !System.modules - if it isn't there, you will need to put one there. Iyonix owners will already have a copy inside Internet.!Messenger.RMStore. Owners of 26-bit machines can download it here:

Charles Taylor has produced an alternate set of icons for BookMaker. Both Voyager VIX and Standalone versions of the new icons are included in the archive.

BookMaker makes use of the Toolbox modules. The latest versions of these modules can be downloaded from the RISCOS Ltd web site in the "Updates" area.

Standard disclaimers apply - if BookMaker:

deletes one of your files,
accidentally reformats your hard disc, or
causes your StrongARM card to melt

it's not my fault and even if it was I can't be held responsible.

On the other hand, it's always nice to know people are using BookMaker, so if you have any problems email me and I'll try to fix it. Alternatively, you could just email me to tell me how wonderful BookMaker is...
