This agrees with what I know about sting initialization in C, which is that you can only initialize char strings if they are extern or static. Even after getting it to compile, the desk accessory didn't seem to do anything; it merely exited to the desktop. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I ld'd the libraries in the order suggested (dastart.o, accskel.o, aesfast.a, vdifast.a, dlibs.a) Any help would be appreciated. > -- > Steve Yelvington at the lake in Minnesota > steve@thelake.mn.org -- ncastellano@eagle.wesleyan.edu ncastellano@wesleyan.bitnet Sinkhole!dEADHEAd@mast.citadel.moundst.mn.org "We are happy.
