This creates a selector (normally considered to runable code) which enforces the read only property for that segment. You should consider, however, if there are any additional repurcussions of doing this that might be prohibitive. Not knowing what your usage is, this might present an alternative until OS/2 2.0 comes out with a clean solution. Rob Dickinson Distributed Systems Division 3Com Corporation
