That's the current procedure, yes. I don't know, if all platforms support dynamic loading - probably not. So we need some config setting for this. > After adding a signature for vpP to src/nci_call.txt and rebuilding, > only test 5 fails.

Anyway the syntax is: Px["Rect"; 0; "x"] # rect[0].x named access of "Rect" Px[ 0 ; 2; "h"] # rect[2].h idx Constructions differs too. Please have a look at the test. #29200 applied. > On the other hand, I'm really *not* a C programmer. > -- c Thanks, leo
