AIUI: UnixLib's system() does all the necessary moving of memory to enable chaining programs - moving memory around in the task slot to allow loading the new program at &8000, executing it, and then returning after. I think SharedCLibrary does this also, but in a less comprehensive way (no fork() or exec(), no pipes beyond stdio, etc). OSLib will allow you to call OS_CLI - you can call commands from modules, Obey files or transient Utilities, but if you call an AIF binary it'll never return. It's similar to calling OS_CLI from BASIC in this respect. > I haven't been seeing these posts of mine to gcc@gccsdk.riscos.info, so > this is a test also. Looks fine to me. You can always check in the archive: http://www.riscos.info/pipermail/gcc/ You can set Mailman not to send you your own messages - maybe you have this turned on?
