by the way, When I said 'run-time' in that last posting, I meant the 
shared libraries.

The new wack (in 1.2BII's toolkit) conforms more to the wack described in
my manuals, but what happened to all those glorious features like 'tasks',
'devs', 'modules', etc.... ??  I guess I should keep the old wack around.

Q: to amiga people:  What happens when you Close(Input()) or Close(Output())?



----
I would like to be able to create my own 'custom' file handle... something
that would in every way be compatible with AmigaDOS with the exception of
Close().  Has anybody done this?  Seems to me that if C-A put in some
DOS library calls for creating, using, and closing custom file handles,
it's power would be greatly increased.  Pipes would become trivial, and
suddenly, you could use the easy-to-use Read(), Write() etc.... calls to
do non trivial things.
