Wimp Version 5.21 or 5.47 ?

I have recently noticed that the version number returned in R0 by Wimp_Initialise is set to 5.47. I am using RISC OS 5.21 (17-Feb-15) on a Raspberry Pi and *help utilitymodule returns 5.21. Why the discrepancy? (Verion 5.19 returns the same value in R0 and *help) |

I have recently noticed that the version number returned in R0 by Wimp_Initialise is set to 5.47. The number returned by Wimp_Initialise is the version of the Window Manager, not the version of RISC OS. They might be the same, but there’s no guarantee that they will be. |

OK, Thanks. *help WindowManager confirms version 5.47 That is a lot of updates to the Window Manager between the one included in the RISCOS 5.19 build (which showed Window Manager v 5.19 – by co-incidence?) and the one included in the 5.21 build. |
