This page contains software originally published by Stuart Halliday of Quantum Software and
previously made available from Quantum Software's own website. Stuart gave his kind permission
to allow the software to continue to be made available shortly after announcing in 2006 that
he was shutting down Quantum Software.
Please note that this page is merely a means to make that software available, and that
RISCOSitory/Soft Rock Software cannot provide any kind of support or help with its use - the
software is provided 'as is'. That said, updates may be made available for some
items, where it is practical to do so.
Back_It
About Back_It
Back_It is an easy to use program designed to back up your valuable programs or data every day to
another drive or directory whilst you continue working. The user has full control over the items
being backed up and items are ZIP compressed to take up minimum disc space.

them.

Blinds
About Blinds
Blinds is an icon an application manager; with it running on your computer you can make up to 32
individually tailered blinds-like windows which open and shut at the click of a mouse. These
windows when closed take up virtually no valuable desktop room, yet are easily accessible.
Files or applications placed on a blind can be very easily altered to show either text only,
sprite and text or just the icon picture.
Compatibility
Blinds works on any RISC OS computer running RISC OS 3.1 or later, but for the
IyonixPC and anything more recent you will need to update the Brandy relocatable module.
