This may have come out a long time ago, but I forgot. It is a bug in both Aztec and Lattice C.... they never close the DOS.LIBRARY ... You can get a count of the number of programs you ran by simply looking at the reference count for the library. As far as I can tell, it doesn't hurt anything. -Matt

When the program is started from the CLI it fails to close the dos.library. From Workbench it does it ok. This causes no particular harm. A long time back I wrote a set of new "Startup.obj" modules for Lattice because of an unrelated problem. I think I even posted them to comp. {binaries,sources}.amiga. They are: "CLIStartup.obj" (Will only start from CLI. If tried from WB it brings up a Requester that says "...must be started from the CLI...".) "WBStartup.obj" (For CLI or WB programs that need no command line parameters (very small)). And "BothStartup.obj", a complete clone of Astartup.obj that is half the size and bug-free. |\ /| . Ack!
