It has, hasn't it? I'm quite enjoying this! :-)

Interesting. That's the correct place for it in RISC OS 5, but apparently
not in earlier versions.

Perhaps you can do one more confirmatory check, at least on the 6.20
system, but on as many systems as you like. Just run this:

*Filer_Run InetDBase:CertData

The result ought to be simply that the CertData file is opened up in
a text editor. If that works, then AcornSSL, curl, future versions
of NetSurf, and who knows what else, will find the CertData file in
the right place.

If that /doesn't/ happen on one or more of your systems, we have a
problem.

We don't need to bother about them, fortunately.
