Hi Steve,

Well, I haven't seen any patches here for a very long time.

Justin F. has contributed one bug report in Decmber 2020, which is still 
outstanding, and 3 bug reports in 2019, which I'm certain have been 
fixed by John Tytgat.

Risc OS itself is not being actively developed, so OSLib is hardly an 
active project; in fact I'd call it dormant.

Me, I'm still around, and am nominally still lead maintainer, but have 
reached an age where I must admit to a certain lack of enthusiasm to fix 
OSLib bugs. I don't know who else is still around, nor do I know who is 
still using OSLib. Anyone reading this is welcome to announce themselves.

Certainly an influx of volunteers to continue the maintenance would be 
welcome, and if you're stepping forwars, I'd be pleased to give you 
SourseForge commit rights.

Keep in touch,
Tony
