Routines version 1.42 now released

[Steve]

The Routines libraries have been updated to version 1.42. This update
includes a couple of significant bugfixes to some assembler routines for
string manipulation as well as making the library ARMv7 safe so that
programs using it can run on Beagle Board, Touch Book and other modern RISC
OS machines.

About Routines

Routines is a collection of dynamically-linking BASIC libraries designed to
greatly simplify the job of writing all kinds of programs, from command line
tools to full multitasking Wimp applications. It does this by putting all of
the most common stuff somewhere it can easily be reused.

Here's an example of how simple it is to write an application to put an icon
onto the iconbar:

LIBRARY "<Routines$Linker>"
PROC`library("wimp.wimp")
ON ERROR PROC`wimp_error
SELF_NAME$ = "Simple task"
SELF_TASK% = FN`initialise(0, 350, SELF_NAME$)
SELF_ICON% = FN`add_iconbar_icon(`IBAR_RIGHT%, "!routines")
ON ERROR PROC`quit:QUIT
PROC`wimp_poll(0, 0)
PROC`quit
QUIT
