I experimented some more with the load command, in particular to see
if using the form:
load mod1 mod2 mod3 ...
would result in the modules being effectively merged before loading.
Unfortunately, each module got its own 8k block. So my objection still
stands:
1/ load with multiple modules should not result in a 207 error
and
2/ we need a command which does indeed perform the "effective" dynamic
merging which Pete Lyall suggested as a possible reason for the 207.
I tend to think that having:
load mod1 mod2 ...
mean the same as:
load mod1
load mod2
load ...
is really not necessary so I would vote having it mean: merge all
the modules and load that group as compactly as possible. This
would mean the 207 error would still occur but it would be for
a valid reason -- indicating that the resultant group was too big
to fit into an address space.
