Could some kind person please mail me the EMail address of the author
of the CCLib.library ? This is the Amiga shared library implementation
of the standard C functions (printf, fopen, fclose, etc.).
There is a major fault with it in that it does *not* check whether
system calls were successful or not !
If you try and open a file, e.g. err = fopen("TESTASSIGN:test","w")
DOS puts up a requestor saying "Insert TESTASSIGN in any drive..."
if you click CANCEL, the whole thing crashes ! It crashes before I can
check the result of my fopen() call (before I can check whether 'err' 
is NULL)!
This annoying bug caused me to reject the otherwise really useful package.

Thanks,
