I.e. multiple copies of RiscOSLib is put in RO3. I think it was said a while ago (around the launch of the A5000 ?) that RiscOSLib is now a part of CLIB, and that that is the reason why the CLIB with RiscOS 3.x is now substantially larger. The ROM applications will access the ROM version of this shared library, so that 1) It is possible to upgrade CLIB without altering the ROM-applications 2) There is NO unneccessary duplication of code... --Dag Haakon -- --Dag Haakon Myrdal, dhmyrdal@pvv.unit.no - - Werchsmeister Emeritus, Omega Verksted, - - Idrettsveien 29, N-5037 BERGEN, NORWAY - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
