Almost every example issues an openlib() on graphics.library. I've looked through my workbench and extensions diskettes, the diskettes that shipped with the Manx C compiler, and all my other diskettes but haven't found the library. Does it exist?, and if so where can I find it? Yes, it does exist. "graphics.library" is a dynamically-loadable shared library. Since its mere presence is necessary for the system to run, it is part of the system ROM. Shared libraries are either ROM-based or loaded from disk. --M __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM
