Yes. The clients are console routines, applicable to text mode. I've no objection *in principle* to their using a different means to output such critical errors, but: * They must not be required to know (on a code or #define basis) whether they are in a GUI or text environment. fprintf is actually a very clean way of achieving this, you simply link against ini.o to get it, and not for text only mode. It's the same approach as linking against user-land malloc debug libraries. Cheers, Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt>.
