There were lots of problems.. It was mainly to do with the way hooks were
implemented into the library originally before I started "updating" it. :)
There is no real way to do hooks in the library without building them
manually, and the hook system that was used with MUIList and such
was a bodge.

Already done. MUIHookToNList()

Page is curretly in the process of a MASSIVE re-write. Seems no point in
adding links to my blitz stuff now, since you`ll be able to get TCPLib and
EFMUILib2 from ricks site soon :)

Sorry there are few comments in the code. This was the first bit of ASM I
haven`t
commented, cos there was a rush to get the first version out, and it was
written in
less than a week.

There were some problems with the fuctions anyway, didn`t return correctly
because I was just fiddling and didn`t get to finish the routine properly.
