[Post I just happened to see, but could have easily missed due to the not-very descriptive subject]
I'm afraid yet another ill-directed post at csa.* (where almost no one who is reading it can do anything) is unlikely to lead to any kind of resolution, it certainly doesn't improve my enthusiasm to address the issue, if the questioner can't make the most basic of effort (This also refers to another similar recent post).
This is in constrast to a properly directed email at myself, or the GCCSDK mailing list (which is the correct forum for riscos.info), which could have lead to an immediate fix.

Peter's saying that things get fixed quicker if you tell the people responsible for them, rather than asking in a public forum that those responsible may not read.

I didn't know it was broken. As far as I knew it had been withdrawn for a particular reason.

Read it again; it's not like I used a foreign language.

So, again, exactly what were you hoping for with your post, when almost nobody here can do anything, and asking me directly might actually clear up any assumptions?

Er, yeah. Of _course_ you will - I'm asking a question so I can find out - indeed, it seems that _you_ don't know. But it seems at this impasse you're unwilling to do the right thing or even bother to make any effort, so your issue will go unresolved. Your loss.

It was more a curiousity thing than anything else, I have a house full of PCs (running linux and windows) and a GP2X that run scummvm happily. (okay not all of them run it, but they can).
But then again, it's unlikely you'd be reading this news group since other than the last 4 days you will almost certainly not be reading it.
An you are right, a scumm interpreter that is used exclusively for playing games, running on a computer (that is still an acorn machine). bears no relevance to csa.games. Sorry.

The original point has obviously gone way over your head, or is of no interest to you. I won't waste any more energy with your pointless flippancy.
