Thanks for your thoughts I'll do some checking of !run files in !boot
I did think of unplugging the older shared CLIb version in Rom so I could
see if it was being softloaded
elsewhere.
Just down to detective work I think.

There are a couple of things - in the early days one checked the C lib
version and if it was too old, loaded a new one. That was frowned upon,
because the C library is dynamically linked to running programs, so if
another program was using the already loaded old C lib and you replaced it
with a newer version trouble ensued.
That is one reason why lines may be commented. Second reason, is the thing I
mentioned that the 32 bit version of OP set off as requiring C lib 5 for
Iyonix but was later linked with the version of stubs that allowed 32 bit
code to use older versions of the C library.
Bob, thanks for clarifying that you have latest OP. Should not be choosey
about C lib versions.
From the above you can deduce that the newest version of C lib must be
loaded on boot, and after boot there is no way of changing to a newer one.
You can double click for testing, but in general not a good idea.
I've had a busy day, eventually time will permit me to turn on the Iyonix
and come up with some better researched comments.
BTW if anyone is wondering, I replaced my ADSL modem, looks like a hardware
problem on the old one.
