- Small query about res_init().
-
- I have written a C program which uses the RISC OS library, and I want to
- comply with the guidelines for software by using a different OS variable
- to point to the R/W stuff from the Read Only stuff. So I have set up:
- Program$Dir and ProgramData$Dir.
-
- However, what I want to know is, is it safe to call res_init TWICE in
- the same program, ie. after doing template_init() and resspr_init() with
- the first variable, can I switch it? It seems to work but is it safe,
- or might some of the RISC OS library modules start to call the res
- functions again during execution?
