Welcome to Jaffa Software
We produce quality software for computers with RISC OS.

Older news TVGuide application released 06-Mar-2005 Our new TVGuide application allows you to view today's UK TV listings on your desktop! The application, produced with WimpWorks, downloads the TV listings in XML from bleb.org and reformats them into a grid. Clicking on a programme within the grid shows you more details on the programme. The application is released as open source under the Artistic Licence. TVGuide can be downloaded now, free of charge. [larger screenshot] 32-bit compatible WimpWorks now available 13-Dec-2002 Friday the 13th; but it's lucky for some as the first 32-bit compatible version of WimpWorks is released. Fully tested on Castle's Iyonix PC, this release also produces applications which are 32-bit compatible - usually with just a resave. To ensure future development and to cover rising costs existing users will be charged a small fee to upgrade to v2.34 - however we now support online ordering. More details are available. jaffasoft.co.uk website back up and running 01-Oct-2002 After some issues with the ISP hosting jaffasoft.co.uk going bust, we're pleased to announce that it's back. Permanently. WimpWorks v2.29 now available 24-Feb-2002 After another rather long period without visible activity we're pleased to announce the release of WimpWorks v2.29. Users can upgrade existing versions. In addition to bug fixes, this release provides some new functionality. See the changes. WimpWorks v2.27 Released 28-Mar-1999 v2.27 of WimpWorks is now available. If you currently have v2.23 or later you can upgrade via the upgrade page. Although this is mainly a bug fix released (OLE on non-StrongEd editors was broken) the way is now clear for some exciting WEMs to be released. The Best Bouncy Ball Program In The World... Ever! 06-Jul-1998 Our impressive multi-task bouncy ball program (as seen at Wakefield) will bounce a ball from one client (a "room") to another. It can be downloaded now! Work in progress... 13-Nov-1998 Andrew Flegg has posted to the mailing list a summary of the current work being done on WimpWorks, our powerful application development tool for RISC OS. Statement of commitment 18-Sep-1999 Jaffa Software believe there to be a great deal of life left in the RISC OS platform and will support any solution developed, whether it be the multiprocessing ARM Linux machine with a RISC OS-like GUI or a consortium buying the rights to manufacture Phoebe as only a motherboard. Our products, such as WimpWorks and PICsuite will be updated to work as soon as possible on the new products and we will ensure that our support for existing users will not diminish in any way. We will also continue to develop quality applications for RISC OS and whatever platform results from the ashes of Acorn Workstations.

Feature articles Advanced Features of WimpWorks 26-Feb-1999 Andrew Flegg (author of WimpWorks) has uploaded this article on the more advanced features and capabilities (at a lower level than usually used) of our application development suite, WimpWorks. Create Drawfiles even more easily 12-Feb-1999 Victor Markwart has recently posted to the mailing list details on how to use DrawWEM (the bundled plug in allowing WimpWorks applications to create drawfiles) to draw circles. As circles are made up of four bezier curves, this procedure will be very useful. WimpWorks is best! 04-Sep-1998 A comparison of the ease and power of WimpWorks over our competitors' products, such as Clare's WimpBASIC. Collaborative programming in RISC OS 06-Aug-1998 Read the announcement we made to the newsgroups about our ideas for a web based resource for RISC OS developers to share ideas etc. Linked lists in WimpWorks 05-Aug-1998 Charles Talibard has written another article on programming WimpWorks, this time it explores creating linked lists. Writing client/server apps with WWv2 13-Jul-1998 Charles Talibard (co-author of WWBounce) has written this article on the issues of writing client/server systems using WimpWorks and ActiveApps.
