It took me some days, ehm. Was snooping arround with "truss", purify and gdb for endless hours. It was not easy. Again, watch for the hidden usage of functions doing something with the process environment. Tcl and AOLserver are taking care of that (Tcl has a bug, as I mentioned, though) but your other code may not. I will send you the changes to the clock code. I'm using the 8.3.4 for AOL3.4 but this part is same for 8.3.2 anyway. Cheer's Zoran
