Any info appreciated. > Mike B I think the package runs around $40. Since ACTION! searches compiled symbols before going through the library in ROM, the runtime files are simply included in the beginning of the program. Setting certain system variables allows you to designate the ORG of your program. Even offsets are possible. The package includes the full library as well as subsets. After compiling you simply write the file to disk from the monitor. With a clever relocation scheme one could compile the same program with a one page offset, create a bit map, and write a relocating loader... all in ACTION. -- Harald Striepe DEC Western Region TBU decwrl!zinfan!harald decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-wer521!striepe WER521::STRIEPE
