If you receive a zip file with RISC OS files it's essential to unzip 
it on RISC OS, otherwise you get this sort of filetyping issue.

Windows Edge doesn't seem to make it easy to download the zip into a
folder but when I tried the same thing in Chrome I could do it. I
suspect Edge unzips a file which makes it difficult for RISC OS users to
deal with them.

Thanks for the help.

I must admit... I found Edge clumsy after using IE for so long, so I just set IE to be the default browser on my Win10 setup.

It really hurt poking myself in the left eye with a pointy stick, so I 
decided to poke myself in the right eye instead.

Oh I do so love that. :-)

Ok... Have made several changes to the code since first posting the zip file up to Dropbox. The original link now points to the updated file. These include writing out a single file in Choices:RPiConfig and fixing a bug in the original implementation of it that meant part baked changes could get committed to file if more than one window was open and being modified at the same time.

Right click, file -> Save As ?

Some initial notes

DBSRscs should use 4-digit years
What are sudo macros? sudo is a Unix thing, it doesn't exist on RISC OS.

What's wrong with:
DEFFNisnumber(A$)=VALA$<>0 OR A$="0"
Error 254 is Bad command. You need to use a different error number.
Don't scream!!! at your user.

That's not how Miscellaneous is spelled
write-back is an adjective, not a verb
on-the-fly is an adjective, not a verb

There's no !Sprites file

With...
IF FNfs_found(target$,3) THEN
 IF FNfs_filetype(target$)=&fc8 THEN
  IF FNfs_found(target$+".CONFIG/TXT",1) THEN
   rpi_detected%=TRUE
  ENDIF
 ENDIF
ENDIF

As you have defined FNfs_filetype() to return -1 if there is no object, this can be...

IF FNfs_filetype(target$)=&FC8 THEN
 IF FNfs_found(target$+".CONFIG/TXT",1) THEN
  rpi_detected%=TRUE
 ENDIF
ENDIF

You previously check to see if the image file exists and is an image file (meaning its image filing system is active, in this case DOSFS), but the check for CONFIG/TXT will give 0 if DOSFS is not active, so if target$ exists and is filetyped to &FC8 but DOSFS is not active, you will still get rpi_detected=0

And it can be optimised to:

target$=....
rpi_detected%=TRUE
IF FNfs_filetype(target$)=&FC8 THEN IF rpi_detected%=FNfs_found(target$+".CONFIG/TXT",1)

#5315

Pseudo AKA emulated or fake, as BASIC has no real way to define macros a la C. FNiif() emulates Inline IF in C. That file is full of similar simple oneliner or short FN/PROCs that reduce complex long lines down to a couple of embedded FNs. If I misspelled "Sudo" when I first wrote the library something like 10+ years ago then I can and will fix that one.

Is it not an adverb?  It describes how something is done, surely.

OK Fixed some faux pas... References to "Sudo" are now correctly "Pseudo". Sorted out some of the window furniture niggles too. Will push the changes up sometime later today.

#5317

OK Found instances of 254 in LibASH. I always thought that 254 was user defined. Maybe I'm thinking back to the Beeb here. Is there a user definable error number that can replace 254 here?

Have fixed Sudo to Pseudo and sorted out some of the window furniture issues. Will push the changes up sometime today.

I have my RISC machines (ARMX6, ARMini, Iyonix and RISC PC) on the same
network as my Windows machine.

If transferring them from PC to RISC OS is a problem then stick a temporary e-mail address in reply and I send the zip file via email attachment.
