Arcology is starting to get some killer features... Yes, that's Acorn Sprite and DrawFile conversion to PNG and SVG respectively. And "browse anything browseable on the disc", which is very inadvisable for hard drives.

The input for all this was a RISC OS Zip file, disc images work too (ADF, IMG, HFE)

You know one of my favourite vocal stims which has stuck with me over the years is the splash screen jingle to the RISC OS program "Mr Clippy", which was part of the DrawWorks suite wayback when.
"🎵 I'm Mr Cippy, I have a song for you. Dum dum dum. I save Vectoors and Bitmaps too. 🎵 Oooo!"

Somehow I thought #riscos NFS filename mapping was more complex than this.

The MS-DOS one is pure nightmare fuel: https://www.riscos.com/support/developers/prm/dosfs.html#idx-2571

"Note that the first mapping shown above is unlikely to occur in practice, since '#' is a wild card in RISC OS, and '?' a wildcard in DOS."

I wonder if R.A. "Smigg" Smith knew in 1990 that people would still by finding copies of his "creation" in the year of our Waluigi, 2026? #riscos #retrocomputing

e: If anyone knows what happened to "Smigg" afterwards, can you please fill me in? I'm curious if they got a bollocking for releasing Icon, and what they later went on to do.
