Yes, it has, though the info hasn't been extensively distributed and the examples have not been very clear (a lack of comments). I've gathered all examples I could find, and now know the inner mysteries of shared libraries on the Amiga. My test library works both on 1.1 and 1.2, using Aztec 3.2a and 3.4a respectively. There is a slight difference due to register protection being slightly better (though still incomplete) in the latter version of the compiler. I still have a bug in the expunge code, so I'll hold off posting for a few days. James Synge USENET: {decvax, ucbvax, allegra}!decwrl!sqm.dec.com!jmsynge ARPAnet: jmsynge%sqm.DEC@decwrl.DEC.COM

Note: I hope you made you stdio libraries Lattice compatible, i.e., along the same design lines as other Amiga libraries. -Mitsu
