They are, but P8CDA is *not* the standard loader. I haven't actually tried loading an Expressed OMF file with P8CDA, but I'm sure it'll barf with a fatal error when it comes across the first segment, since the segment kind is "dynamic data segment" (P8CDA doesn't deal with any dynamic segments at all, although maybe I should have permitted dynamic data segments.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
