Software by Martyn Fox

This software has been written to run on an ARM-powered computer under the RISC OS operating system.

All software is stored in compressed files, requiring SparkFS or Sparkplug to decompress.

Following Martyn's death in 2003, IClear is now being maintained by his son, Christopher.

IClear v1.34

IClear is a module which makes it easier to delete text from a writable icon by double-clicking on it with the mouse and typing new text.

A new feature has also been added. Precision drags are now possible by holding down a mouse button and using the arrow keys to move the pointer by one pixel in the direction of the arrow. This is a little-known feature of Draw which IClear makes global.

Requires RISC OS 3.10 or later.

A detailed description of the source code may be found in Issue 4 of Foundation RISC User, published by RISCOS Ltd for members of the RISC OS Foundation. An earlier article, Getting to Grips With Assembly Language, serves as an introduction to the description of the IClear code.
