Tweak to SideDiff

[Harriet Bazley]

A suggested tweak to SideDiff - I have changed line 9 of the !Run file
to read RMEnsure SlidingHeap 2.12 RMLoad <SideDiff$Dir>.SHeap.SlidingHp
instead of
RMEnsure SlidingHeap 2.00 RMLoad <SideDiff$Dir>.SHeap.SlidingHp
(and have uploaded this alteration to the archived version at
http://www.starfighter.acornarcade.com/mysite/utilities.htm#sidediff for
those who prefer not to edit their own software.)

The effect of this is to force SideDiff to load the version of the
SlidingHeap module supplied inside the application instead of using an
earlier version if one is already in memory. This is to ensure that R0
(heap pointer) is preserved across SWI calls, which was not always the
case in v2.0 of the module and which can cause obscure bugs to manifest
in SideDiff if it is used with early versions of SlidingHeap.


SideDiff is an application to display the differences between two
copies of a text/BASIC file in a colour-coded side-by-side format. The
Sliding Heap module
http://www.starfighter.acornarcade.com/mysite/programming.htm#slidingheap
provides heap access and management from BASIC/ARM code programs.
