Having posed the same question on the Fireworkz forum and received all positive replies so far (most have been addressed directly back to me rather than the forum) here goes...

Would anybody actually complain about support being dropped in next release PipeDream for pre-RISC PC/A7000 systems and pre-RISC OS 3.5 operating systems?

Red Squirrel emulator users have been able to acquire almost-free RISC OS 4.02 for a long time and 5.22 works fine on RPCemu.

Your thoughts please!

No problem here.

I think you also should drop Pipedream's own printer drivers. Use standard
Risc OS drivers only!

Thanks.

Ripping out the PipeDream printing code would be more harmful than
beneficial. Just don't anyone expect any improvements to it...

There do seem to be text-only users still!
