Ah, in the cool light of day I had a re-read of the !ReadmeMW file
inside !AWrender. And there is my answer, in a section called
"Impression, Aemulor and AWrender":
Impression (Style, Publisher or Publisher+) under Aemulor
(Lite or Pro) on the Iyonix or A9Home cannot make use of
32-bit versions of AWRender. This is a limitation of
Aemulor. Future versions of Aemulor may address this issue.
Until then, some special action has to be taken to convince
Impression (or other 26-bit programs with ArtWorks support)
to display ArtWorks files.
(Apparently Aemulor has not yet addressed this issue, at least in the
Aemulor Pro 2.32 version I have, dated 2005. Could somebody check in
the very recent versions that have come out for Beagleboard and Pi?)
The way to do this is to load a copy of AWRender that claims
to be 26-bit only. This can then be emulated by Aemulor and
used by Impression (or other emulated 26-bit programs that
use AWRender). Such a copy has been provided as AWRender26
in the RMStore directory.
To load it, add the following line to the beginning of
Impression's !Run file:
If "<ArtWorksModules$Path>" <> "" Then RMLoad
ArtWorksModules:AWRender26
If you have other emulated 26-bit programs that use
AWRender, you need to add the above line to their !Run
files, too.
I followed MartinW's instrux, added the line to !Publish+.!Run, and
the problem duly disappeared. I probably knew all this four years ago
when I was using the Iyonix more, but had forgotten it when I only
recently brought the Iyo back into service and installed various
updates that have happened in the interim.
Shows that it pays to reread instructions once in a while, even for
familiar software: there's always some new trick to pick up.
