Well, in my infinite assume-ing-ness I flamed about lib$put_output while actually trying to link something that calls lib$find_image_symbol. This latter call is *not* defined in starlet [why?? Because it only applies to using shared libraries, I guess?], which is why link was losing with /nosysshr. Y'awl *did* get it after all, and I didn't until now because I was calling something not in starlet. The next question: what's in imagelib that ain't in starlet?? lib/list gives me a short list of nnnRTL instead of the actual function names. Interestingly enough, link/nosysshr seems to imply /selective_search for starlet, because the resulting image isn't overly large [i.e. no difference between letting /nosysshr do its stuff and including starlet/lib/sel as well]. It would be nice if the linker book explained all of this in the simple terms that everyone who answered did [thanks guys, you can stop now, I've received about 30 of them]. _H* -------
