Except for one thing: As I read Inside Mac, the ReleaseResource invalidates the handle. I interpret this as meaning that the master pointer is invalidated as well. So, this sequence would work for two unrelated programs (or program parts) only if each GetResource returns a handle with a separate master pointer. I don't think that happens (at least it shouldn't!). I admit I've never tried this. I'm reluctant to try anything that doesn't look iron clad and guaranteed. This doesn't. -- ===================================================================== Ed Anson, Calcomp Display Products Division, Hudson NH 03051 (603) 885-8712, anson@elrond.CalComp.COM
