Overall, it should be simpler to produce a working frontend. > Should the old front end be modified or is a complete new start necessary? The RISC OS frontend is somewhat special, because it's the one that was most developed and thus had the features that have since been moved into the core code. Therefore, it needs modifying to work with the core code, instead of having a duplicate implementation of some features. J.
