You've basically got it. You could try scf_simple_prop_get() and friends, but I don't recommend it as it doesn't tend to be that much simpler. :/ If you're in ON, dep was experimenting with scf_read_propvec() and friends as a simpler interface, which you could take a look at -- they're private functions in libscf. liane
