This, I didn't know. Thank you very very much :)

Not having RTFM'ed just quite yet I'm assuming libffi is a DLL loaded
and present eh? Do you have any links to examples on how to link
assembly to DLL's ?

I have to admit I don't really like writing GUIs but I was thinking of
writing stuff that will call GTK - that way I (hopefully) will only
need to write most of the code once somewhere ie linux and might have
a fairly decent chance of ****ting to OSX  and perhaps even windoze.

Cheers + thanks
