What the hell is a "relocation burb" and how can one avoid them? :-) It means that there is a locally scoped item in the Global Offset Table used for relocation. It thinks the export and the declarative scoping conflict. How old is your assembler? It's probably the culprit... I defer to Warner for a better analysis... (ducks and runs). > 2.

Whatever happened to that idea? :-) You'd have to demange it for attribution of paramters, since you could have a conflict declaration, and if you demanged it to not show any attribution of paramters or return value, you'd never figure out where the hell you screwed up. 8-).
