* Posibility to create PureLibraries from PB
That's about it really.
PS Thanks for a great compiler Fred.

Hi,
For the appinstance you can use this :
AppInstance.l=getmodulehandle_(0)
About creating libraries using PB. It's difficult to do, and for the moment it's not possible at all for a simple reason...
Librariy Obj is merged with Library descriptor in a single file. Obj is extracted by the PBCompiler at compil time and then immediatly deleted.
So it's not possible to compile again the ASM source.
But i don't know if creating a library using directly PB is a very good idea. I worked on this project with Ricardo, and even if PB write interesting and optimised ASM code, it's far from a well hand written code with human optimisations in length and execution time (and it's normal).
For PB speed and compacity, i think we have to make libraries with ASM. (but it's only my opinion...What do you think about this???)
For writing a library like, using PB, you can compile your code as Resident.
Fred, if you can Add an option not to delete the Obj files, it would be great to allow compiling ASM sources made with the /COMMENTED option.
Hope it helps...

Works great thx...

Well asm is ofcourse the most compact and faster solution, but it would be nice to have PB compile libraries. Mainly for non-speed thing like custom gadgets etc... But it is only a suggestion.

Resident is not documented very well, I have no clue how to use the feature you are talking about...

**********
The last compiled ASM-Listing should be left and accessible.
Also ... I think it would be great, to have a "TAB" like in MS-Frontpage,
where I can directly switch into the (once compiled) ASM-Code and even
overtake and replace pieces directly into the source.

The best time to do things is now !
