Actually, the chip keyword would let you (and ARexx) pull all those references together _automatically_ and get them into their own file. It would be very easy to do, indeed. Inline asm essentially breaks the _entire_ module that it is included in, and would force you to re-write it wholesale. For EVERY module it was used in. Since manx forces all the storage into one place (or so someone just said – sounds stupid to me!) removing the chip keyword and compiling would be all you need. Cross-system compiling would be worse, because by definition, if you needed chip ram, it probably won't work on any lesser machine than the AMiga. And they're virtually ALL lesser machines. <grin> –Ben-
