CBM will save 8 bytes of ROM space will every call you make will be 4 byte bigger.8 Byte once, 4 byte or more for each programe on your disk (and rom?)... What sound more logical? Keeping OpenWindow and save space EVERYWHERE or remove it and recompile every single programe written and making the ROM bigger and using more disk space (Small numbers of course). And speaking of my library, I dont have millions of people using it everyday... And I took the oportunity to trash all the path code for old structure version (The library is used for structure/object oriented programing.). And It might run on a Silicon Graphics before the end of the year, so it might surlly use a diferent hardware configuration. (And from that be able to port GUI programe from both system...) Anyway, this is just an idea that I dont like (Removing absolete library function).I really think it could be avoided with very little code (Like OldOpenLibrary, and the OpenWindow example). The 5 year I mentioned is an exageration:-) The best example I thinking of is CED. Stephan.
