We have a DN4000 and a DN10000.  To provide programs for our
own use and for our customers to run on any type of machine,
we have started building cmpexe with xar.  This allows us to
have only one program directory for both machine types.

For code developement, we have built up several libraries of
usefull functions.  Currently we have to keep two different
copies for the two machine types and make sure the correct one
is used during binding.  To make life easier, is it possible
to have a library of object files with both machine types 
included like with a cmpexe?  If not, is there some easy way
to make the library selection more automatic, maybe use the
ISP variable?
