Wierd things here too. I examined the !System log file & found

!System.Log :
  Wed,21 Mar 2012.12:42:02: Added file 500.Modules.CLib

What's wierd is the March date which was before I upgraded this machine to
the 4.39 ROMS & installed the !Boot from the CD. I suppose the clock could
have been wrong at that point.
The CLib 5.56 probably came from the Fireworkz site at abacusline.

I love a good mystery.
