I don't have a bug, just a question. When in ez, I can bring in a fad
inset, and then ez
will dynamically load in the fad code. But what if I bring in ANOTHER
fad inset? Will
ez load the code in again? If I'm writing a paper and I use 17 charts,
and I'm on a machine
with not a lot of memory, will ez get slower and slower? I know that if
I had lots of fad
processes (or lots of ez processes) then the text space would be shared,
but I didn't think
that insets made new processes.
Any help would be appreciated. Mail or post.

I did this to try to debug some things in messages when I didn't have access to a debugger that could handle dynamically loaded objects. The only thing is the assembly code that triggers the dynamic loading must still be there. > 2) can I access Andrew classes from non-Andrew C-code?

The major stumbling block is that ATK believes it is control of the event loop. Your code must be written using an event driven model. Andrew J.
