[OK, fine! I'll give up and ask for help on this one, too!] I've written several XFCNs with MPW 3.0 that work fine. Today, however, I tried to recompile the same (exactly the same) code with MPW 3.1. The compile worked fine. The link produced the following error: ### Link: Error: Data Initialization code is not being called. (Error 57) I've never seen this before. The XFCN (actually, the three XFCNs which all produce this error) is a simple beast that mucks about with a couple of resources then exits. No windows/dialogs/menus/or anything. Has anybody else seen this before? Is it documented anywhere? Any suggestions for a fix (the code is a little lengthy to post, but I will if it will help)? Any help will, as always, be appreciated. dank

Use the -b option to the C compiler, and it should go away. If this is not the problem, then you have to do some sleuthing. Unless you have insight into where you are generating the problem (in which case, why would you be calling for help?), you can home in on it by using the dumpObj tool to examine your object files and see which one is creating the %A5_Init reference, then work (tediously) back from there. Of such character as I have built with MPW, a significant portion has been from eliminating A5_Init references from C++ code. You too can be so fortunate! Jeff E Mandel MD MS Asst.
