Unregistered user Hi - just a quick question.

I've seen a file which seems to call itself a utility module. Under ROS 3 It's Icon is dark blue(ie the same as an RM or absolute) but in it's top left corner is "Util". What exactly are these files for, and how do you create them?

Unregistered user They are just small programs which don't need to run for long, and do something handy, like altering memory allocation or soemthing. It's not a module at all though.
You can create them just by using the basic assembler, if you read the PRM probably vol 1 you'll find the entry and exit conditions etc.
