  1. OK, ROOL's git app is apparently not compatible with sgit..

    Fortunately I've been busy at work and hadn't done anything complicated, but I still had to restore 2 local git repos from backups...

    And of course I got confused and deleted a repo from a backup before I'd restored it. Redundant backups FTW!

  3. Finally downloaded the #ELF support for #RiscOS and installed it. Seems to work fine...

    And the new #ROOL #Git client is indeed pretty nice! Looks like it works with the #SGit directories I already have.

  5. So now I'm converting the docs for an old FOCAL interpreter to clearview.

    Clearview is ok. I'm not super in love, but tbh I've never been super in love with any of the #hypertext systems I've written for.

  6. A guy on the ROOL forums ported clearview, an old hypertext system (non html) from 26bit RISC OS to modern 32bit RO.

    Had some trouble getting it to run on picky ARMv7 boards because ARMv7 is picky about NULL dereference. Turns out the bug was in RISCOS_LIB and had been there for 30 years!

    Anyway I'm happy to see more 26bit riscos code dragged into the 32bit world.

  7. Porting code to RISC OS. So, dispite it living in unixlib (a, you know, unix compatibility library), the readdir() that is included in the DDE is completely different from unix readdir(3).

    For what I needed the RISC OS readdir() is actually simpler to use, so thats ok.
