This has been built from the PipeDream 3.10 source with a couple of modifications:
1. Identifies itself as PipeDream 3.10a in the Info box
2. Menus insert a '^' before the shortcut key sequence to right-align on RISC OS 3.5 (and later)
3. Updated dialogue boxes towards modern Style Guide appearance (32-bit version only)
4. Calls SWI Portable_Idle when printing to screen (32-bit version only)

PipeDream3-3_10_1.zip is a 32-bit build.
It is a RISC OS RiscPkg format file (a ZIP format); please extract on RISC OS to preserve file types.
This has been built on RISC OS 5 using the ROOL DDE.
The application will work on RISC OS 3.1 (or later) systems with suitably modern SharedCLibrary.... read more

Digging deep into an ancient archive uncovered several gems.

There's a PipeDream 4.13 (that's in PipeDream4/Historic) from 1992, which was the last version before StrongARM support was added.

There are several versions of PipeDream 3 (see PipeDream3/Historic) from 1989 and 1990, including ones translated into German and Swedish. If you like running RISC OS 2.0/2.01, why not try these.

There are even non-GUI versions of PipeDream 2 for the Acorn Archimedes (see PipeDream2) from 1988 that might be familiar to those coming from the Cambridge Z88 or View Professional on the BBC Micro.

SourceForge may corrupt the file timestamp on uploaded files, but I've fixed this behind the scenes...
