Sorry yes. "cvs log" does things in a unhelpful order. I've been using SVN too long. Do you have any specific plans for ArcEm here? My biggest frustration with RPCEmu is still the issue of RONs. Obviously these have been endlessly distributed, but finding a precise owner who could then give permission for distribution may be impossible. The ownership of 3.1 is probably hopelessly murky. At least with RPC and RO5 there's some clarity, even if the IOMD version is still incomplete. >> The last post to the ArcEm mailing list is more recent, but still over >> a year ago.

There's something of a community of BBC users, so that's no in danger, and there's plenty of interest still in RiscPC onwards, but the gap in the middle doesn't seem entirely well catered to. Probably because there's not a great deal of current interest in the matter. There are other Archimedes emulators that seem to have vanished for example.

In fairness, the ArcEm mailing list isn't really used any more. The argument could be make for combining its traffic with that of RPCEmu. > riscos.info's wiki already links to arcem.sf.net, perhaps a page for it > is all that's needed if you're concerned about it being forgotten? Perhaps. Presently under consideration is a better definition of riscos.info exact scope with regards to machines it might cover. The focus has always been RiscPC+RO4 or later, but in light of my concerns about, that could change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
