It's strange that Acorn were...at least in some people's opinion - big on backwards compatibility - but compared to the PC world, they didn't seem to do it very well. Regarding Arculator/RPCEmu, I don't know, but looking at http://b-em.bbcmicro.com/arculator/ V0.1 of Arculator came out before V0.1 (or any version) of RPCEmu.
