This chapter describes some minor changes to the various internationalisation modules, all made in RISC OS 3.5.
The International module has been enhanced so that from RISC OS 3.5 onwards the strings it returns are terminated.
The following extra countries are supported from RISC OS 3.5 onwards:
Finland, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Japan, MiddleEast, Netherlands, Switzerland, Wales.
From RISC OS 3.5, on entry to a territory module's SWI handler R0 is now always set to the current territory number. (If the SWI was called with a territory number of -1 to indicate the current territory, the territory manager resolves this before calling the SWI handler.)
On exit R0 should be preserved unless it is explicitly used to return a value from the SWI.
From RISC OS 3.5 onwards, these calls return the current territory in R0 on exit.
A new SWI was added to MessageTrans in RISC OS 3.5:
-
R0 = pointer to the kernel's MessageTrans dictionary
Interrupt status is undefined
Fast interrupts are enabled
Processor is in SVC mode
Not defined
This call returns a pointer to the kernel's MessageTrans dictionary. (This is not the same as the OS_PrettyPrint dictionary, as described in OS_PrettyPrint.)
Since the contents of this dictionary are liable to change with each successive release of RISC OS, this call is for internal use only; you must not use it in your own code.
This call is only available from RISC OS 3.5 onwards.
