- Just about everything starting with wimp_ is just a wimp SWI - wimpt
- stuff is built on top of it I think - can anyone suggest how you can replace
- the init? (Do you need to?) With C Release 3 there were parts of Risc_OSLib
- included - that way you could tweak something if really needed (although only
- 2 or 3 bits were there). It would be really nice if all RISC_OSLib source was
- included with the C package.

- There are one or two with Desktop C - look at the bottom of the fonts
