Is there no way to make this resident? Code which is not reentrant and not reexecutable cannot become reentrant and reexecutable. So if you try to make it resident it will crash or will cause strange effects when you'll launch several executions on it. Only a part of the code of AZ is reentrant (the code handles really only ONE window), and when you open a new window, you launch another process on the same code. So even if you have a lot of AZ windows the code is loaded only once in memory, and there is no real need to make it resident => this is the same final effect. Yes not exactly, and the future version will can be made resident ;-) > Also, is v1.50 the final > version? Thanks - There is a version 1.51 but I never distributed it. The only difference is that it does not give the prompt back after started (it doesn't detach itself from the shell anymore). This was needed to use AZ with Matt's UUCP package. A new version of AZ will be there in a few month from now, with some other utilities, but will not be freeware anymore. Who does not need money? :-( -- \___/ Jean-Michel Forgeas \-/ cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmfra!swinjm!forgeas | The Software Winery -^- And, where is the universe ?
