I was afraid you were going to say that.

However, standalone code resources must be compiled model near.  This is
exactly the problem I have with SmalltalkAgents: they too can load any
standalone code resource -- standalone code resources are the limiting
factor.

Or, are Codewarrior-generated code resources somehow different than
MPW-generated code resources?  Can Codewarrior-generated code resources
contain model-far code?

Can MCL use CFM (Code Fragment Manager) managed code?  If I *could* get
a CFM version of the lib, would I be able to call it?

The developer responsible for the Mac version of the lib expressed interest
in hacking a SOM version of the lib in his "spare time", rather than CFM.
Would I be able to use it?

Tom
