FD Extension

[Mia]

Inside the GUI Extension "Tools" folder there is the FD Extension - I wanted to take a look to see if I could work on the BSD library but found that the FDBuilder is looking for a file FDLib.prefs in the FD: folder but there is no such file - creating a blank file makes FDBuilder quit?

The development version of a library download should have an FD file.  If you mean BSDSocket.library, it is a per-opener library so it might not.

the fd for the bsd library is in the fd folder of the fd extension - i saw it mentioned on an old post recording amos:

the FDBuilder application does not run because of the missing preferences file, so I'm unable to create the FDExtension for AMOS - I believe the FDBuilder has a check list of FD's you want to include, and you choose the extension number you want then configure amos.

I don't think it does anything extra than using LibCall directly but it's neater and you don't have to reference all the dreg/areg - I monitored it using SnoopDos - it was looking for the FDLib.prefs file.
