As such, an unreasonable duplication of code would result when multiple programs use it (which is what one would want to do). While this duplication is uninportant in virtual-memory systems like UNIX, it can be a BIG drawback on systems like the Amiga. Currently Arexx runs a single version of the interpreter plus a number of libraries. Are you guys at hackercorp working on a Tcl library? -- Marco -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Xerox sues somebody for copying?" -- David Letterman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
