Here goes:

	os9 F$DatMod

inputs:

d0.l = size of module body wanted (not counting header or CRC)
d1.w = attributes and revision number to put on new module
d2.w = module access permission desired
(a0) = module name pointer

outputs (if everything works):

condition code register has the carry bit cleared

d0.w = module type/language word
d1.w = module attributes and revision
(a0) = updated to just past the name it pointed at on input
(a1) = module data pointer
(a2) = module header pointer

outputs (if something goes wrong):

condition code register has the carry bit set

d1.w = error code
