Ahh... Well. I wonder, would it not be possible to extract portions of code from "lisp.exe" above (looking for the "-M" option - assuming you have access to the source, GPL?), such that the code does what you're asking for - given some tweaking. That combined with the linker object thingies discussed earlier -> Voilá. Maybe add some "automatic" scripting and you're finally "home". /H -- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
