Some of us ex-Acorn users miss Zap, but here's your chance to do something about it! I've cobbled together this emulation which runs some simple RISC OS binaries (mostly those written in C which rely on SharedCLib, but try your luck...).
To test it, you'll obviously need a RISC OS binary; I'd suggest grep because I know it works, at least partially :-) I've put a page up with some of the binaries I've used for testing at:
http://riscose.sourceforge.net/testbinaries.html
So just dump it into the src/ folder for now and type:
./configure && make
(cd src && ./riscose grep free) <README
or something like that, i.e. the arguments to the riscose program are the name of the binary (currently only `Absolute' executables are supported), followed by the arguments you want passed to the RISC OS binary, e.g.
cd src && ./riscose grep -n free ../README
If you're inspired by that, and know a bit about RISC OS check out the ToDo file and get hacking.
If you've acquired riscose from git then you need to have maintainer tools available.
aclocal && autoheader && automake --add-missing && autoconf
