[mod.computers.68k] forks in CP/M-68K

mknox@NGP.UTEXAS.EDU (mknox) (05/24/86)

Two points relative to the msg from PRZEMEK:

1:  The base address is an argument on the stack when a program is loaded
	by the CCP.  See the manual section on "initializing the BASE
	page".  The stack contains the return address to the CCP (which
	I think was a mistake for them to include) and a pointer to the
	BASE page.



2:  The .REL files should be available to you, but some vendors only ship
	them upon request.  In GEMDOS (for the ATARI) DRI added a post-
	processor program called RELMOD which takes the .REL and puts
	out a *very tight* relocatable format file.  This new file 
	takes very little more room than an absolute .68K file, and
	loads almost as fast.  A real useful hack to CP/M-68K would
	be to add/replace the existing program load function with one
	which would handle the new format.
