     It seams to me that someone mentioned that the problem with the global
library pointer lies in the binding routines, not in the XPRlibraries 
themselves.  Being an assembly language programmer, I don't use the bindings,
but wouldn't it be possible to simply rewrite the binding routines to use
non-global variables?  I'm not sure how this would be done, but I'm sure
some talented programmer can hack it out.
