No my copy, downloaded from http://www.riscos.willowroom.co.uk/ is
REM >!RunImage
REM For !CPUTmpMon
REM Version 2.00 (22.10.2010)
REM (c) WPB, 2010
But with a little more searching I found
http://www.cgransden.co.uk/pandaboot.zip
which includes version 2.01 in the utils folder (as well as the BASIC
program PB_CPUdetect)

I'm glad I read it prior my usual approach of "launch it and see what
happens"
But the help file in the zipped 2.01 version still refers to v2.00 and
still has the "warning".

No, that's more than I needed to know ;-)

OMAP4460 ES1.1 1200MHz
Temperature...
28 Apr 23:51:02 100 === Started logging CPU temperature ===
28 Apr 23:52:02 100 70.0°C
28 Apr 23:53:02 100 69.5°C
28 Apr 23:54:02 100 70.4°C
28 Apr 23:55:02 100 70.4°C
28 Apr 23:56:02 100 65.4°C
28 Apr 23:57:02 100 64.5°C
28 Apr 23:58:02 100 64.5°C
The 69/70 temps are while the distributed.net client is running
The 64/65 temps with that client stopped.
I have a similar program running on my PC (Core Temp 1.0 RC3) which
shows (AMD Athlon 64 X2) Core0 at 83-85 and Core1 at 76-80, so I'm
quite happy with the ARMiniX's temperatures :-)
Thanks for your help
Barry
