There isn't one, and one can't be written. Acorn has explained this in
c.s.a.tech some time ago. The problem is that the RiscOSLib in
question is somewhat neutered - it has lots of unwanted routines
pruned out if not needed by the ROM, so that things fit. Also, a lot
of stack checking and such has been removed. To make matters worse,
the code is tacked on to the end of SharedCLibrary, and the
applications in ROM are linked directly to it. This means that the
entry points cannot be guaranteed to stay in the same place in future
releases of the ROM. Thus, you'd throw portability out of the window
if you linked to it from code that is not part of the ROM.
