Thanks Profiles libraries are libraries which are used when you are collecting runtime-information about a program like amount of function calls, time spend in function calls, memory used etc. The data is collected at runtime and stored in filename.gmon and can be viewed with gprof. If you're not a developer you won't need them. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.MavEtJu.org edwin@mavetju.org | Interested in MUDs?
