	Hi!

	I'm having a little (;-) problem with the Sozobon compiler and
accessories. I didn't get all the stuff distributed with Sozobon compiler
sometime in the past - namely, none of the sources but all of the rest - I
think ;-). Thus, it might be due to the missing parts that I have the following
problem:

	When compiling a GEM program which is supposed to run as an accessory
and starting it as MY.PRG it'll start and run correctly. When installed as
MY.ACC my system will crash when booting. I am aware of the fact that the
event handling of a .PRG and a .ACC have to be different and have taken care
of that. By using printf's I found out that the program when run as an accessory
won't even enter main().

	My suspicion is that the dstart.o module frees memory prior to calling
_main() which shouldn't be done for an accessory (according to the docs I have
access to ...).

	Now - is there a different module available for compiling accessories?

	Would a construction like
	
		lea	#stackend, sp
		jsr	_main
		jmp	_exit

		stack:	.DS.w	2000
		stackend:

make it work?

	If there is a module available for compiling accessories could a kind
soul *please* mail it to me????

	Also, if I'm missing something could anyone tell me?

	Thanks,
		Dirk Husemann
