REPORT obsoleted, use OpenLibrary() instead
SEVERITY Level 1
EXPLANATION Not much to say. Just follow the advice! But please
do NOT just replace it by a lazy OpenLibrary(...,0).
This isn't much better...
DEADLY has no effect. Yet...
REMARK I've got a lot of response on this one. All of them have
two arguments in common that people gave against this hit.
The first one is that the AutoDocs do not explicitely say
not to use this function. Anyhow, this is implied by: "This
obsolete function is provided so that object code compiled
using a 1.0 system will still run." To say it in another
words: this call is only to be used in software that is
ought to run under Kick 1.0. Obsolete functions must not be
used in new code!
The second argument is that you can save 2 (in words: two)
byte by using this function instead of OpenLibrary(). This
is ridiculous, IMHO. First of all, let your program have
10 Open calls (which is rather much), you'd save 20 byte.
This is no price for future compatibility. Another problem
is the missing library version checking.
