Ah, well thats kind of important. I understand that Windows is quite popular in some places? ;) Is there some equivalent mechanism that lets dlloaded plugins dig function pointers out of the the host? Thier public symbol linking system is backward too from what I remember. I don't think theres any reason to stop Windows users being able to share the love, should they so choose. I used to get a lot of mail asking for advice on how to compile my plugins on Windows until I put a note on the website saying I couldn't help. - Steve
