But don’t panic, we’re talking user group, not giant rock from space! Sine Nomine’s Impact database will be the topic of the next Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) meeting, which takes place on Wednesday, 6th July, at 7:45pm, with a talk delivered by the group’s own Chris Hughes.
Sorted menu fields are the order of the day. Sine Nomine Software have released a new version of Impact, their relational database package. Originally developed by John Skingley of Circle Software, and taken over in 2003 by Matthew and Hilary Phillips of Sine Nomine, Impact is a relational database for RISC OS, which is easy to use and provides facilities to create, edit, import and edit information, and features the ability to merge data with Impression or Ovation Pro documents, for mail shots, reports, invoicing, and so on. The application…
The ‘orror of HTML email arrives – but with good reason. Matthew Phillips of Sine Nomine Software has announced the release of version 3.43 of relational database package Impact, bringing with it a new version – 1.03 – of ImpEmail, the email mail-merge software. The update to Impact brings various bug fixes and minor enhancements to the software, and includes version 0.22 of the Impulse module. Impulse, originally developed by Computer Concepts (now Xara), provides a mechanism for inter-application communications, command execution and data transfer, and it recently emerged that…
Keep tabs on your data. And probably in it, as well. Following its launch at the recent Wakefield Show, Sine Nomine software has now made the new version of Impact available from their website, along with the new accompanying application ImpEmail. Originally developed by John Skingley of Circle Software, and taken over in 2003 by Matthew and Hilary Phillips of Sine Nomine, Impact is a relational database for RISC OS, which is easy to use and provides facilities to create, edit, import and edit information, and features the ability to…
A new version of Sine Nomine‘s relational database application, Impact, is now available. A commercial product, the software is now at version 3.40, and is available as a free upgrade to anyone who has purchased version 3.37 or later – with users of versions 3.37 to 3.39 urged to download and install the upgrade as soon as possible, since it fixes “a nasty bug in card design mode, which was only present in those versions.” In addition to this, there are lots of other bug fixes and minor improvements in…
* And the meeting is already free, so that makes this a bargain! Wednesday, 6th March, will see the next Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) meeting take place, and this month attendees will get two talks from two different people, rather than the usual one.
Shortest route found: to their desk to use a computer with Zoom installed. Hilary and Matthew Phillips of Sine Nomine will be joining the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) as the guest speakers for their next meeting, which takes place on Monday, 17th July.
The next important date in the typical RISC OS year is almost upon us, with the Wradfold Show – that’s the official RISCOSitory name for the Wakefield Show when it takes place in Bradford – now just a smidgen under three weeks away.
With no London Show today, it’s a perfect time to remember Wakefield! This year’s Wakefield show was a slightly unusual one for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the show was held around a month later than usual, on 21st May, rather than its traditional April slot – although you could also argue that it had returned to its original traditional month; the show started out in May back in 1996.
The Wakefield Show usually takes place in April of each year, though recent times have had an impact on that; the pandemic meant the 25th show had to be put off in 2020, and took place in 2021 – around its normal time – as an online one, with the 25th physical event scheduled for this year instead. This year’s event was originally announced for 23rd April, but ongoing refurbishment work at the hotel caused it to be put back by a month to 21st May. However, there has been…
