That's great news.
As an aside, people may not know that the Howkins brothers have been
doing some work on CVS's contents recently, e.g. 16MB support with four
emulated MEMCs IIRC. One way of keeping up to date is the arcem-cvs
mailing list where CVS log messages, and nothing else, get sent. No
archive's available, naturally.

If there's a de facto standard, e.g. how a RISC OS NFS client, like
Sunfish, maps these things to RISC OS, then it would be worth copying
for people already familiar with that behaviour.
http://www.cp15.org/internet/ Sunfish, inc. GPL source.

Certainly. A patch against CVS with no conflicts posted somewhere on
the web with a ping to this list would be one way. Whoever steps up to
apply it can reply so only one of us does the work. (I'm not sure
people would like large patches directly on this list.)
Or if you've a SourceForge account then you could be given write access
but I suspect more people would peruse the patch if it was a click away
rather than if they had to grovel through CVS to get it.
Thanks again,
Ralph.
