You can concatenate any combination of object module libraries and program libraries for the call library (Sometimes it's easier to try the experiment than RTFM.

By experiment, Unix directories work solitaire. You can't concatenate them, not even with other Unix directories. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
