    I've got a script that uses `link' to include a file containing a few procedures. This library that I'm trying to link lives in the same
    directory as the script file. I compiled the library using `icont -c
    <filename.icn>' which created filename.u1 and filename.u2.
    However, the code does not seem to be linked in as the script outputs
    wrong data. What am I doing wrong? TIA ..

    Keep reading about IPATH after that.
    They may need to be in IPATH.

    I've got IPATH pointing to where all the scripts live.
    Any other ideas?

    # mylib.icn
    # Note: Libraries cannot have procedure main()
    procedure one()
    write("ONE")
    end
    procedure two()
    write("TWO")
    end

    icont -c mylib.icn

    # main.icn
    link mylib
    procedure main()
    write("Main")
    write(one())
    write(two())
    end

    icon main.icn
    # Works for me on GhostBSD without IPATH
    Main
    ONE
    TWO

    What operating system?
    What version of ICON?
    Does your program work if all procedures were in one file?
