In C, when you take the address of a function (i.e., Text in Graphics library), is that address the entry point to the function or does it represent a jump into the library Table from which the function is called? Dan

Dan Actually, it's probably the entry point to the library glue routine, neither of the above. The library routines expect to be called with parameters in registers in a particular way, and this isn't the calling convention used by most C compilers. -- -Colin (uunet!microsoft!w-colinp) "Don't listen to me.
