If they're in the ROM, they should run from the ROM ...
do a *unplug and see if they're listed.

The latest versions can be got from http://www.acorn.com/browser/
and are probably also on the Acorn User 200th Issue CD-ROM, in the new !Boot
sequence. You would be advised (probably) to use the whole new sequence as it
will include stuff to make sure that the old versions in the ROM are disabled
and the new versions loaded off the harddisc instead.

Can't remember what caused/fixed this ... I think it was a toolbox problem,
possibly an old version of SpriteExtend, or maybe it was a certain version of
WindowManager ...
I used to get it on my A5000, but don't on my SARPC.
Again, using the new !Boot may well fix it. (but then again ...)

If you do install the new !Boot, ENSURE that you backup the old version first
(in its entirety) and then if anything goes wrong you can get the machine
back to how it was before easily.

BFN !

I wasn't very clear: they are in ROM on my machine which has RO 3.7 but
nowhere to be found on my friend's 3.5 machine.

Many thanks but I have it all working now thanks to the kindness of the
readers here. The "nager: Sprites 22" problem disappeared when I included
the missing modules in the toolbox. Strangely the !Boot on that machine is
the new one, because the machine was bought second hand and was FU beyond
all recognition. I reformatted the drive and remade the !boot. Although,
obviously not as well as I should have.

Many thanks
Kevin
