On loading an AIF or Module that is not flaged as 32Bit compatable RISC OS 5.xx generates an error, usualy displayed in an error box.
My question is how does one trap this, what are the details?
Does it go through ErrorV if so what is the Owner, Error number, etc?
Or is there some other way of handling this?
I have been pulling my hair on this one for a couple of days, it would be helpful to know so I can more easily get many 26Bit programs and modules to load with out having to trap a bunch of SWIs. |

I was pondering the very same question, my original thought as I'm already trapping the SWI vector was to just check the file before loading it.
Not exactly elegant though, it would be better to handle only known 26bit files. The obvious solution that springs to mind would be for the OS to offer the file around via a service, I doubt that was ever implemented though.
I'm guessing you've tried monitoring ErrorV and aren't seeing the error? |

Yes I am not seeing any thing that is different from an app just crashing. I know there must be something somewhere. It is possible that there is something I am overlooking,
And looking at every absolute and module as it is loaded is exactly how I am playing with at this time. |

Ok I seem to have figured this out. I am going to just watch the filing vectors and respond when an application is being loaded, this will require a little extra testing though should be the least intrusive way to accomplish the goal.
This after a short discusion on the ROOL forum and some personal research. |
