Docs/Ensure
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Description : Description of the "Ensure" utility.
INTRODUCTION
The "Ensure" utility is used to ensure that suitable versions of modules from
the !System.modules directory are loaded. There are two advantages over the
usual RMEnsure commands in a script file: only a single command is required
for each module, and the error messages are friendlier.
This utility is FreeWare; it may be freely used and copied. However, I
retain full copyright. See the section on "LEGAL MATTERS" for more details.
USAGE
The syntax is:
Ensure <ModuleTitle> <Version> <Filename>
where
<ModuleTitle> - the name of the module, as given by *Modules
<Version> - the minimum version of the module required
<Filename> - the filename of the file within the !System.modules
directory, i.e. it is appended after "System:modules."
Note that no checking of arguments is currently performed.
Example of use:
Run <App$Dir>.Ensure Iconbar 1.11 Toolbox.IconBar
This starts the Ensure utility from the application directory to ensure that
version 1.11 of the Iconbar module is loaded. If necessary the module is
loaded as "System:modules.Toolbox.Iconbar".
LEGAL MATTERS
The "Ensure" utility and documentation is supplied "as is"; no warranty,
express or implied, of the merchantability of this software or its fitness
for any particular purpose is given. In no circumstances shall the author, or

CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
I would be interested in hearing of any bugs or other unexpected features in
this utility, and will endeavour to correct any such problems in future
releases. Suggestions for improvements are also most welcome. Implementation
depends upon practicability and on how much spare time I have.

If in any communication you make specific reference to the program code please:
Quote the version number and date of the utility (it is contained near
the start of the executable binary).
Refer only to the utility as released.
Supply as many details as possible about the problem, including the
hardware and software configuration of the machine being used.
Please send a stamped and self addressed envelope, or give details of how to
contact via e-mail, if you would like a reply.
I hope you find this application of some use.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to the thank the following people for their contributions to
the development of this utility:

and everyone at the Acorn User Group in Oxford.
THINGS TO DO
The following are changes that may be made to this utility sometime in the
future:
Checking of command-line arguments and display of syntax message.
Use (optional) Messages file or system variables for error message text.
