Plea to RISCOS Ltd.

[Colin Granville]

In the hope that someone at ROL is reading this.

Can you please release the sources of your version of the toolbox
modules to ROOL or at least make them public yourself. Yes I know that
your version is better than ROOL's and you've spent good money
updating them but if you don't work will be done on ROOL's version and
the API's *will* diverge. Keeping a single set of modules will ensure
that new features can actually be used.

I think this would be a useful gesture for the programming community.

Here's hoping.

Agree, as a general point on the way to helping things converge at
least the ROl toolbox and even perhaps the ROL SharedCLibrary should
now be made public and usable by all. Then hopefully everyone can
agree that these would be the standard and any work done on them
rather than keep reinventing the wheel.
