I have been playing with the ld -A feature of 4bsd. This seems like a highly useful feature (for my user-customizable program). Has anyone else had experience with it? In particular: Will it stay around, e.g., in 4.2? (Would I be a fool to depend on it?) Does -A make any sense without -N? (I don't think so. It doesn't appear to work, either.) Is there any library to support incremental loads? (I have dink-ed something up for a test, but don't want to reinvent...) Does it have any meaning in an I/D machine, or a machine with execute protection? (Seems like you'd need textbrk(2).) 't` --Tucker (ptw@vaxine.UUCP) ~

Some folks here have used the ld -A feature to load new object modules into PSL (Portable Standard Lisp). I'm not sure exactly how it does it, it was done by Russ Fish (utah-cs!fish or fish@utah-cs). =Spencer
