I need somethig general at the lowest level, expressing the semantics for synchronization, asymmetric multiprocessing, efficient device handling, paging, etc,etc,et&c.&&&. But in a new way: Most of this is so well understudd that it should be a one-liner. A few things, such as backtracking /generators should be part of the standard libraries. Thread should too, the kernel/user thread question I had hoped to solve at least partially with Many-to-many. Compaction, the same. You have helped me a lot, and in any case: I now know that i have to learn BETA. > and interfacing with the operating system and operating system > libraries/DLLs. These run-time systems are rather large and Is the output from Beta dynamically relocatable (execution time?) - or is it statically relocatable (link time?) And thanks for your views on compaction. Gave me an excellent idea for a few other things. Happy hacking! Atle
