The WROCC Newsletter
WROCC members receive a copy of our monthly newsletter, The
WROCC. Produced in A5 format, it contains articles on RISC OS
and its software, hints and tips, information about the subjects covered
in our meetings, and much more.
Copies are produced in PDF format and either emailed out or
made available for download from the
members' area of this site. Members
can also choose to receive a printed copy in A5 format for a small fee on
top of their annual subscription: those copies not collected in person
from a Club meeting are sent out in the post shortly afterwards.
A selection of older issues are available for
download below.
An index of the articles found between issues 23.12 and 27.12 of the
newsletter has been produced by John Arthur, and can be downloaded here
as a PDF document.
The Wakefield Back Catalogue
Launched
on the completion of Volume 28 of The WROCC, the
Wakefield Back Catalogue contains PDF copies
of the Club’s monthly newsletters going from The WROCC
and Awake right back to the very first “hints &
tips” sheet handed out at the April 1983 meeting.
First available at the 2011 Wakefield Show,
the disc is for both members and non-members alike. See the
Wakefield Back Catalogue for more details on
what it contains and how to make sure that you get your copy.
The WROCC Guide to Networking
Starting in late 2009, the Club has been publishing a series of articles on
networking in the newsletter. Two years on, we’ve turned them into a
stand-alone guide to the subject of networking RISC OS systems. See the
WROCC Guide to Networking page for more information
on what the booklet contains and how to get hold of your copy.
Part 1
By
April 2010 there had been enough articles published to create the first
20 page A5 booklet; launched at the 2010
Wakefield Show, this covers the basics of setting
up a network that contains RISC OS machines and is available for
purchase to members and non-members alike. For more details about the
first instalment, see the
Networking Guide’s page.
Part 2
Launched
in April 2011 at the Wakefield Show,
Part 2 of the WROCC Guide to Networking
continues where Part 1 left off and looks at file transfer and the
RISC OS firewall. For more details about the second part of the Guide,
see the Networking Guide’s page.
Downloads
Here are some old back-issues of The WROCC, which can be
downloaded in PDF format to give an idea of what the newsletter is about.
More recent issues, along with any additional files which were
distributed with the issues here, are available for download from our
members’ area.
The files can be viewed on RISC OS using PDF, which is
maintained by Chris Gransden: recent versions (3.00.1.21 or later is
required to view the newsletter correctly) can be downloaded for free from
www.riscos.info/index.php/PDF.
October 2009
Alongside
the regular WROCC meeting report for the previous month, the October
2009 issue started off our networking series (that led to the
WROCC Guide to Networking Guide) with a
look at setting up a network. There also was an investigation of different
ways to transfer files between RISC OS machines, reports of two
Acorn or RISC OS related shows from the past month, and news of
what had happened at WROCC’s 25th Anniversary dinner.
May 2010
The
May 2010 issue had several reports of the recent Wakefield Show
from both helpers and visitors, as well as a summary of the previous
month’s Club meeting: an experiment to prove that anyone could write
an application in AppBASIC!
June 2010
In
June 2010 the newsletter reported on the previous month’s
visit from Mel Pullen, and included an obituary for the late Ray
Favre. There was a behind the scenes look at the Wakefield Show in
an attempt to prove that the organizers don’t have a cushy job, and a
step-by-step tutorial on using ArtWorks 2 and Ovation Pro to
produce the numbered tickets that were given to visitors at the event.
