I was thinking of coming to that conclusion but discovered that there was no such CLib in !System. There is a CLib in 500.Modules but that will not help much if one was running OS3.50. I had found the rmensure in !System.Run If Boot$OSVersion >= 310 Then RMEnsure SharedCLibrary 5.66 RMLoad System:Modules.CLib Anyway thanks for clarifying up what the intention is. -- David Pitt Raspberry Pi RISC OS 5.21
