RISC OS 6 on VirtualRPC-SE and VirtualRPC-Adjust

VirtualAcorn are pleased to announce that new free of charge
upgrades for VirtualRPC-SE and VirtualRPC-Adjust are now
available.
 
These upgrades are designed to support the use of RISC OS 6
(either the RISC OS 6 Select 4 Preview or as part of the RISC
OS Select Scheme) on the standard versions of VirtualRPC. 
 
The StrongARM equipped versions of VirtualAcorn already
support RISC OS 6 so this upgrade only applies to non
StrongARM versions.
 
These new upgrade to VirtualRPC are available from the downloads
section of the VirtualAcorn website at _http://www.virtualacorn.co.uk_ 
(http://www.virtualacorn.co.uk) . 
 
For those that are not aware RISC OS 6 is the new version of
RISC OS  recently released by RISCOS Ltd. 

The RISC OS 6 Select 4 Preview is available for free download from
the http://select.riscos.com website for those who renewed
their Select subscriptions after May 2004.

The new upgrades from VirtualAcorn will allow thousands more
RISC OS users to experience RISC OS 6 on their machines.
Included in the upgrades are improved versions of HostFS
(the VirtualAcorn filing system) and an updated power
management system. 
 
All copies of VirtualRPC-SE and VirtualRPC-Adjust manufactured
after today's date will include these upgrades automatically.

VirtualAcorn would like to extend their thanks to the
numerous beta testers who have been running RISC OS 6
on test versions of VirtualRPC-SE and VirtualRPC-Adjust over
the last few weeks.
