The reason that this was vetoed at the meeting was that the whole
purpose of the registrar was to make sure that versions of the binaries
would be compatible with most systems. For instance the inclusion of the
COPYBACK_CACHE into SMSQ/E for the Q40/Q60 made it unable to run ProWesS
with any degree of stability. Incidentally a version 2.98(patched) of
SMSQ/E is being distributed with current versions of the Q40/Q60. I am
sure that they have the legal right to sell this and are paying
royalties to TT but has anyone had ProWesS running properly on this
version and, if they have, why will it not run on my Q40 without a
massive crash ? Wolfgang confirmed at Eindhoven that this will not work
with his Q60 so what is the situation here?
