RISC OS "Screen savers have always been a staple free software for RISC OS, with the likes of the venerable Out to Lunch, AlphaSave, and the now GPLed Delirium all acting as saviours of the CRT for many years. However, it was not until RISC OS 4 that graphical screen saver capabilities shipped as a standard part of the OS." More here. Additionally, RPCEmu has been ported to the Mac OS X platform, allowing RISC OS 4 to run alongside Apple's shiny desktop.

...but I'd like to see RPCEmu's Linux version making more progress.

BTW, something I meant to ask the last time a RiscOS article came up...are there any RiscOS users out there in the US, Canada or Australia?

I belive that Peter Naulls of the Unix Porting project lives in Florida.

There's a good reason it's open source ;-) Get hacking.

It's "RISC OS", incidentally.

I'm not, I'm California. Please don't post stuff like this without checking.

Right, sorry. Long time since I actually used it :-(

Florida; California: what's the diff?

The above post is a clear example of abuse, which the stated OSnews policy is against. Please remove this...drivel.

You can't say no to GPL, it's viral. It'll get you eventually. ;) What small code I write, I'll release under just creative commons ASA 2.5. It's not designed for code, but it basically says - do as you please, but give me credit; and that's all I want. No religious junk.

To me, the current RISC OS desktop (I believe it's actually called the "Pinboard") is at least as nice as the Mac interface.

I know you like to tie up "lesser" news items again, but did you not see that one already?
