Well, it's been an adventure that I'm nearly coming to an end on :-)
One issue that remains is the delivery of a library (lsl -> ldl) and the
complaint of:
"library this file does not have any symbol table information"
when referring to a delivered library from the main form, inthe "Uses" list
of libraries
Source library files (lsl) work fine.
Any tips as there about 1 paragraph I can find that relates to symbol table.
Cheers
Jeremy.
