Software for download

This part of the site is not directly linked to signalling, but includes a software simulation of a signalbox (which will run under Windows as an application created using Richard Russell's BBCBASIC for Windows).

Other utilities for BBCBASIC for Windows and for RISC-OS are also available - to find out more select one of the items below.

What is available?

A software simulation of a signalbox - select from Kidderminster Station (S.V.R.) or Exeter West for which a full timetable simulation is available - or other S.V.R. and B.R. boxes which may be operated as a ground frame. Different versions are available for Windows, RISC-OS or for Virtual RiscPC (an application which creates a RISC-OS environment on a Windows PC). Version 42.92.

A library utility for BBCBASIC for Windows which allows creation and display of Acorn '!Draw' format files.

MultiTask is a utility that sits on the icon bar and facilitates the development of simple BASIC programmes. Drag a BASIC file onto the icon and a task window opens up with the programme loaded into BASIC and the 'CSD' set to the source directory. Open a window to examine contents of data files and to set the file type of files with a simple drag or mouse click. Version 7.70.
