I have Aemulor running OK. I have original Impression discs, I have
Impression running on my Iyonix.
I have copied the program to Raspberry's SD card, Installed CCshared
in !Boot.Resources.!System.
I get an error saying "Impression not properly installed"

What else have I forgotten to do?

I don't know what you've forgotten but I think I'm correct
in suggesting that you don't need CCshared anymore. This
dependency was removed in later versions of Impression. I'm
running v4.13 without it so I reckon your v4.11 won't need
it either.

Check whether you have these modules:
!Boot.Resources.!System.310.Modules.ABIMod
!Boot.Resources.!System.310.Modules.Impulse

Mine is Impulse 0.22 dated 2012-may-21 -- forget where it came from
(Martin W's site?); internally says update by M.E. Phillips.

I don't have Publisher, but Style needs a Palette file !System.CMYKPal

Should be !Boot.Resources.CCShared not !Boot.Resources.!System.CCShared

Those modules are already in CCShared.

I think 4.11 has the copy protection that IIRC uses the datestamp of one of
the directories within !System (Modules?).

Impression 4.13 &
Impression Plus 5.13

Don't have the copy protection.

p.s. Some versions of RISC OS (4.02 I think) when copying directories
datestamp them with the date of copying. RISC OS 5 retains the original
datestamp. So if you are going to try and copy the relevant directories by
'pulling' them onto the RO5 machine.

It was updated by Sine Nomine (Impact database people).

In 4.02 (and 4.39?) you can go to Configure>Filer and switch off
"interactive filer operations" while you do this copying. Then
datestamps remain intact.

This is a red herring. Impression 4.11 does not care about datestamps. That
protection method was only used in earlier versions.

As Tony Moore has pointed out Impression definitely wants the CMYKPal file.

I presume that my v4.13 doesn't need CMYKPal because a file
search fails to find it either in $.!Boot or in !Publisher.
Something at the back of my memory tells me it was only
there for security and had no other function within the
application.

I thought that file was the clue and was going to draw attention to it
much higher up the thread till I looked and couldn't find it either!
RO 4.39
