Yes.

The fmod() is a MathLib function. If I did m68k-palmos-objdump -h it
would return nothing to do with fmod(), since that function resides
in a shared library. Or have I missed something about multiple code
resources not being able to access ANY shared library. I know about
Glib.

Well your suggestion about scope lead me to find an instance where I
forgot to include my utilities.h header in one of my source files.
That fixed some of my problems but that did not fix the problem with
the MathLib function. Now, everything seems to work except those
functions that deal with MathLib.
I did substitute (i%6) just as a test and it did cause the text
labels to be positioned correctly but that does not solve the problem
of why I can't access MathLib funcitons, which I did not include in
any section. I DO have an include to the mathlib.h header that
declares the fmod() function.
I should be able to access functions in a shared library like MathLib
shouldn't I?
