Small query about res_init().  

I have written a C program which uses the RISC OS library, and I want to
comply with the guidelines for software by using a different OS variable
to point to the R/W stuff from the Read Only stuff.  So I have set up:
Program$Dir and ProgramData$Dir.  

However, what I want to know is, is it safe to call res_init TWICE in
the same program, ie. after doing template_init() and resspr_init() with
the first variable, can I switch it?  It seems to work but is it safe,
or might some of the RISC OS library modules start to call the res
functions again during execution?
