Or just ensure that a sufficiently modern SpriteExtend[1] is present,
which is what I've done. However, it's worth reiterating that the
earliest version of RISC OS we actually support is 4.02, so anyone

its 18th birthday. Seriously, people, upgrade your OS or don't
expect modern software to run on it.
