The new network aware version of VirtualRPC-SE is now shipping to customers. The network version of VirtualRPC-SE has been in testing for some time and was on show at the RISC OS South East Show on the 18th of October. This new version adds the following features over the older non network aware VirtualRPC-SE:
Networking support plug-in including an upgraded Boot sequence. Access the Internet from within RISC OS, browse the web, FTP, send e-mails etc. Connect VirtualRPC-SE to "real" Acorn machines over ethernet using ShareFS. Connect multiple PCs running VirtualRPC-SE over ethernet using ShareFS. Long file name support under ShareFS. Includes a number of sample programs including FTPc, FreeTerm and a demo version of Oregano2. Includes a new manual with a comprehensive networking chapter. VirtualRPC-SE now also ships with both WebFX3D and SiteWriter (worth over £60) from Dansoft Developments.
Existing customers using VirtualRPC-SE on a PC, or the MicroDigital Alpha can download a free upgrade from the downloads section of the VirtualAcorn website. This upgrade will add networking functionality to existing VirtualRPC-SE installations.
