New sprites
The sprites used for some existing Applications look out of place with the newly designed sprites used on the RISC OS 5 (Iyonix) desktop. This link takes you to some updated RISC OS 5 sprites

for existing Applications.

Using !Webserve as a webcache proxy.
The Oregano web browsers, both 1 and 2, lack a web cache so fetch files from the web for every page, including pages just fetched, e.g when using the back arrow. By incorporating !Webserve as a proxy, previously fetched pages are not downloaded but taken from a cache on the hard disk. Click here for instructions on setting up !Webserve as a webproxy.

Postscript Printer Definition File for 'Brother' Duplex printers
Based on Paul Vigay's Postscript PDF for Xerox Phaser printer, I have developed a Postscript PDF file for a Brother DCP 8045D all-in-one Printer Copier. It allows duplex (two sided) printing automaticlly from both the main Paper Tray and the Multi-Purpose Tray, flipping on either the long side or the short side. Although tested on the DCP 8045D, it may work on other 'Brother' duplex printers.
