ExpLAN Computers Ltd

ExpLAN
Registered Developer

ExpLAN is a RISC OS dealer and developer. The company is the only publisher of Bible software left in the UK; its HolyBible application works solely on the RISC OS platform, is fully multi-lingual, and supports multimedia via its own Resources Editor. ExpLAN is also creating new-style printer driver software for RISC OS, particularly for those printer models which require a level of software control to align heads, change paper-feed hoppers or to flush blocked nozzles. To this end they have created a range of drivers for Canon colour inkjet printers, and they sell and support Kyocera laser printers. ExpLAN was responsible for performing the very first installation of RiscStation R7500Lite computers.
