On a slightly different note --- is there another function available for loading 'library'-like things from places other than LIBS:? As 'a device is a library' OpenDevice() is obviously able to load from DEVS: Is the solution to LoadSeg() and then (after finding the RomTag I guess) do an AddLibrary()? I do know about Arp's LoadLib --- requiring that all parts be preloaded would undermine what we are trying to do by breaking things up into a bunch of 'private' libraries. -- :!mcr!: | The postmaster never | - Pay attention only Michael Richardson | resolves twice. | to _MY_ opinions. - HOME: mcr@sandelman.ocunix.on.ca + Small Ottawa nodes contact me Bell: (613) 237-5629 + about joining ocunix.on.ca!
