- Which version do you have of the asl.library ??
-
- You can try out the reqtools.library package by Nico Francois. He has
- just released RTOOLS20.LZH. I don't have ftp access, so perhaps some
- other kind soul could give you a hint of how to obtain it.
-
- But beware, the future will bring a highly optimized asl.library. Until
- then, check out reqtools.library.
