No not really, this is because most Unix compilers/linkers (including the A/UX ones) don't make position independant code (PIC), this is mostly because PIC code often runs slower (and data is a real pain). CODE resources need PIC code and a compiler that understands how to build an 'a5 world' I recomend you use MPW or some such Paul -- Paul Campbell UUCP: ..!mtxinu!taniwha!paul AppleLink: CAMPBELL.P Tom Metzger's White Ayrian Resistance has been enjoined to stop selling Nazi Bart Simpson t-shirts - Tom of course got it wrong, Bart is yellow, not white.
