I've already added the .weak directive to the Oct 1st snapshot, but I wanted to check and see how you wanted me proceed (or even if I should proceed). I'm not an object file expert, but I know just enough to know I want weak symbols. The linker already seems to support weak symbols, it would just be a matter of deciding where in the symbol record to store the weak symbol bit (though I have an idea). I tried e-mailing Ian but he seems to be on vacation. Mark -- Mark E. snowball3@usa.net http://members.xoom.com/snowball3/
