The X!Family Screenbook

Andy Waddington

family-maint/at/absolutelynospam.pennine.demon.co.uk

Principal Developer: Andy Waddington

Loosely Based on !Family 2.18 for RISC OS by Dennis Howes,
now developed in parallel. The User interface of v 2.26 for RISC OS most closely resembles current versions of X!Family.
