[Jonathan Coxhead]

 | [OS$Path] was changed at a very early stage of the free OSLib, 
possibly 5.4x.
 | The reason was reports of a namespace clash from a number of users,
 | where OS: was used to refer to something specifically to do with 
RISC
 | OS; and its lack of style guide compliance (i.e. not the OS itself,
 | but specifically OSLib). 

   How annoying! That means it was effectively "hijacked". When OSLib 
was introduced, no-one else used OS$Path for anything ... but I 
suppose it was so short and convenient that some ne'erdowell 
appropriated it for their own use. (Presumably, they worked at Acorn, 
so would be hard to argue with!) I'm not sure what you mean by "style-
guide compliant", though.

   It's a shame we're stuck with 'OSLibInclude$Path', but I suppose 
changing back would be a bit pointless by this time.

   But it would be interesting to know who the culprit was ...
