Humm, I seem to have missed these earlier messages.  That's what
happens when I try to use the %^&$#%# windoze box. :-(

I did figure out how to call binary subroutine modules, like inkey and
gfx2, from C.  It's not that hard but there are, as usual with C, a
few "gotchas".  

If anyone's interested, I'll dig out my essay and post it.

For an I-code module, you'd have to either system("module") (which
forks a shell, which will figure out module's a BASIC-09 module and
fork runb), or os9fork("runb", etc....).
