As far as I can see, there is no seperate RiscOSLib, as with CLib, but RiscOSLib is indeed in ROM!!! !Edit, !Paint, !Draw etc. use RiscOSLib, so it must be included in every of these romresident programs. I.e. multiple copies of RiscOSLib is put in RO3. Comparing with CLib, I think it would be very vice to make a shared RiscOSLib. Take a look at CLib: When a new CLib is released, it is loaded into ram, letting old programs written long before the new clib, taking advance of the bug- fixes etc. Nearly every time I read CSA, someone is complaining about RiscOSLib. So making it possible to upgrade RiscOSLib without replacing the roms, would be very nice! -Trygve
