Don't do it at the Mach level. You'll be sorry. If you absolutely want to do it, you can use the rld commands. But then you cannot load any objects, just new functions. You should use the new NeXT functions objc_loadModules. Here, you will be able to load in complete objects and all of their methods. -- Michael Rutman | moose@svc.portal.com Cubist | makes me a NeXT programmer Software Ventures | For Your Eyes Only Public Key
