Subject: BeebIt 0.32 and BBCFiles 0.29 released

Hi, 
 
Version 0.32 (16 Dec 2001) of BeebIt has now been released. 
BeebIt is a freeware BBC Micro computer emulator for RISC OS versions 
3.00 and above. It emulates an Acorn BBC Model B computer with 32K RAM. 
 
The following improvements have been done since 0.30. 
 
- Fixed problem with the setting of the pitch for channel 0, when a 
write to channel 1 was done with a volume of 0. 
- Fixed the loading of ROMs where the ROM path is not a directory. 
- Added opcode 07 interface to allow BeebIt to access the BeebItFS 
filing system. 
- Made many cosmetic and small fixes to the UI. 
- Made the ARM code more compatible with 32 bit code. 
- Rewrote a lot of the 6502 core to speed up the execution. 
- Added the machine name to the icon bar. 
 
Also released is a new utility from James Lampard called BBCFiles. 
BBCFiles is a BBC file converter that converts between some of the 
various types of files used by BBC emulators on Acorn & PC formats. 
It supports 6502Em style applications & scripts, /ssd dfs disc images 
(supporting watford double catalogue), vanilla directories, /zip of bbc 
files with /inf files (with limitations) and directory of bbc files with 
/inf files. 
 
Both of these releases can be downloaded from:
