Boy, some folks really get sensitive when a negative remark is made in the same sentence as BCPL! <grin> I should know better than to argue with you about the language! <ducking> Actually, what I was attempting to say (now that I know that I'm being watched 🙂 is that the manner in which the CLI environment was implented (such implementation having been written in BCPL but not necessarily because it was written in BCPL) was not really designed to support shared code segments for multiple processes. Better? My biggest complaint about the BCPL layers of the OS environment is that they are the poorest documented of all components of the Amiga software. There's a lot of deep, dark hidden voodoo there!
