I resorted to writing a script to rename all the modules. I have used
a filetype for modules as well so that it is easy to transition between
This computer (now with RO4) and my other RPC which only has RO3.6.
I need to copy things both ways - depending on what I am doing.
I have used raFS as well in the past and I could use it on the other
machine, but I dont want to reconfigure it too much.
I have a backup on my old hard drive and as a complete copy on the new
drive. (Minor update of this machine from Arm700 to Kinetic SA, 400M to
20G HD, RiscOS from 3.5 to 4, Memory from 42M to 102M, Added a scanner,
1xCD to 48xCD...)
