Tom, please don't take this as a criticism of your work, but I'm a bit
concerned that the Stronghelp manual seems to have become a primary
reference. In the past, I've shied away from any documentation which wasn't
directly attributable to Acorn/Pace/ROSL, although I'm thouroghly
disheartened at the lack of formal documentation currently appearing from
any source.

Whilst I'm sure that the StrongHelp maintainers are quite diligent, how
reliable is their information?

Don't we (i.e. you :-) have access to the same sources as the StrongHelp
maintainers? If not, do we know what magic they are pulling?
