I was wondering if it would be possible to make a project with all the Cxxx.c files, compile it, and save it. Then anything else I wrote could simply add it like MacTraps and the linker would make sure that my application only got the code it needed. Is there a complication that I'm missing? Yes, namely the fact that projects and libraries can't contain more than 32K of code, which TCL does. The suggested solution to your problem is to create a project containing TCL only, and compile it once; when you start a new project, make a copy of that project and use it as a starter. -- Russell S.
