Hi All,

I've got a bug report from a user using some of my software on an A9.

He comments that the software *RMEnsures SharedCLibrary 5.17 , but he's
running version 5.02 (!)

In the dim and distant past, the RMEnsure of version 5.17 or later was
used to ensure that a bug-free enough version of the SharedCLibrary
produced by Pace was used on all previously available machines.

Now, with the advent of the A9, it seems that RISC OS Developments have
produced their own 32-bit version of the SharedCLibrary.
If one was being particularly bitter one might assume that there's still
a big dispute between ROD and Castle ;-) .

Presumably this version of the SharedCLibrary is going to find it's way
onto other ROD products (maybe even Select 4!) so I'm going to have to
bite the bullet and ammend the RMEnsure and hope that 5.17 or earlier of
the other SharedCLibrary isn't lurking around anywhere.

Yours,

Phil L.
