No you big silly, I meant...are they system friendly AFTER they'd been WHDLOAD'ED

In which case, the answer is 'yes' it seems.

It is no API (*sigh*) function, it's a few lines of "custom" code which does that. They don't dump any memory to disk, why should they?
That's interesting, so as AmigaOS doesn't have any memory protection, what stops the non-system friendly software overwritting your running WB programs...nothing I guess. Which is why I'm coding in a system friendly way

If they memory was dumped to disk (Windoze system hibernate style) the lack of memory protection would not be an issue, hence my comment
