Details by André Timmermans (100):
Possibly the toolbax modules version refer to those in the 3.1 ROMs but I highly doubt that for CallASWI, FPEmulator and ShearedCLibrary

Most of the modules listed seem to have had newer versions in ROM since at least RISC OS 5.01, while older versions require using the HardDisc4 archive merged with the PlingSystem archive.
The exception is SharedCLibrary, which requires a newer version than is provided by the RISC OS 5.28 ROMs. It might be a good idea to provide a disc-based version of SharedCLibrary to make things easier when upgrading from older versions or when using the softload tool with multiple RISC OS 5 releases.

As Cameron has said the RMEnsures are all essentially NOPs on a RISC OS 5 system, and for anything pre RISC OS 5 you need to merge the !System update as well as highlighted next to that download with This must be merged with the main HardDisc4 download (below) as it contains selected modules to update or supplement the ROM operating system.
It might be a good idea to provide a disc-based version of SharedCLibrary to make things easier when upgrading from older versions or when using the softload tool with multiple RISC OS 5 releases.
There is a softloading CLib for 5.00-5.29 in !System.500.Modules supplied in the main disc image for exactly that reason.
