Subject: BeebIt 0.45 released

Version 0.45 (21 Sep 2002) of BeebIt has now been released.

BeebIt is a freeware BBC Micro computer emulator for RISC OS versions
3.00 and above. It emulates the Acorn BBC Model B, BBC Model B+ and BBC
Master 128 computers.

The following improvements have been done since 0.42.

- Fixed an error in the video routine so that FireTrack and the water level
in Exile now work (woo-hoo!).
- Added keyboard links for models B and B+ to the options screen.
- Implemented FRED and JIM memory locations. All calls will be transferred
directly to RISC OS for processing.
- Added BeebIt64K module to the application directory. This emulates 64K
of paged RAM.
- Fixed timer interrupt problem in the VIAs. Rig Attack and Psycastria 2
flashing colours now work.
- Support for multiple ROM paths added.
- Choices and CMOS are now saved to !Boot.Choices.

>From my testing, I believe that BeebIt should now be able to run 99.9%,
if not all, of the BBC games available. I'd be interested to hear of any
that still fail to work.

As always, you can get the latest version from
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/mjfoot/ under the BBC link.
