I'm guessing that there's little interest in this, given by the lack of
response. However, even if people aren't interested in it, I'll be
continuing working on it.

Additionally there is a processed collection of information in the OSLib
parser repository which I've just released -
https://github.com/gerph/riscos-oslib-parser/releases/tag/v0.01

This contains generated information for:

* SWI conditions (entry, exit, naming, conditionals).
* NVRAM constant names
* RISC OS Pyromaniac PyModule templates
* Constants
* RISC OS Pyromaniac API templates
* AArch64 interface generation (from the above repo)
* RISC OS Python SWI templates - not quite right yet
* Structures ('wimp messages') - not quite working yet

These are used in RISC OS Pyromaniac and other projects (like my
disassembler) to describe the interfaces of the system.

If anyone wants to improve them, or finds them useful, please let
me know.
