This shouldn't happen. What can happen is that no one has arp.library open and it gets expunged because some task asked for a lot of memory. (When I run DPaint is expunges arp.library). The only other possibility I can think of is that you have several versions of commands that use arp.library and they request different versions of the library. (Checking the version on disk each time). --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
