I think I remember reading something about input and output file handles preventing code from being re-entrant. Is this indeed the case? Perhaps you would post an example "Hello, world." program as an example that would compile to resident code that would run from either WorkBench or CLI ?? -cdm

Chuck, There is nothing about file handles that inherently makes a program nonreentrant. There could be problems if, for example, a program tries to open a specific filename in exclusive mode while another incarnation of the same program has that file already open. Sorry, but I don't write C well, and haven't written anything that would be run from the WB. I described the different types of program in non language specific terms for exactly that reason. -larry
