Sure, the emalloc etc., might help clarify applications, but like Brian I'm not convinced they need to be in our standard library. I know Brian was simply trying to illustrate a point, but eopen and eclose might be good candidates to add to "libe" before commiting the port. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
