This is true, but my point was that it requires a human programmer to read the manual and choose an address each time the program is ported to a new machine or major OS version. The recommended addresses will necessarily be different for different CPU's, MMU's, or OS ports. It would be much nicer if there were a way to specify "whatever address works". -- Michael "Ford" Ditto -=] Ford [=- P.O. Box 1721 ford@crash.CTS.COM Bonita, CA 92002 ford%oz@prep.mit.ai.edu
