Maybe it's worth dropping them a mail. However later versions would either require someone hacking the ARM code or porting the PC version. At a guess I'd say that GCC is probably almost at the stage where it could be used for the port - we still need a decent class library though although the RiscGUILib guys are working on it.

Sorry to be so pessimistic half the time but it does tend to provoke comment

MicroDigital have supplied a school with a new machine for the purpose of running Sibelius and it works, so maybe it will work on new stuff.

Presumably the new 32bit RISC OS will be able to run the old apps. They're not in the real world if they think people will upgrade to an OS where there is no software!

As for new versions, Benn Finn @ Sieblius says that the new version was going to be released for the Acorn but they couldn't when Acorn shelved their Workstation division.

He now says it's a few years too late but he hasn't ruled it out completely.

Please do send me info on C++ developments and I'll pass them on. Email ms@arenaman.com

There is hope
