I am encourage by the first step of a new emulation for RPCemu if the
hoped-for build of a version of RISC OS 5 for RPCemu comes to pass.
This will then enable the geniuses (genii?) to extend RISC OS 5 in
whatever direction they want, not to mention all the clean-ups, etc that
have been made since RISC OS 5 was made Open.

If all this, and a continuing development of RPCemu, happens the status
quo will no longer be preserved.
