     I am aware that the Manx linker is capable of placing portions of a
 program into specified parts of memory.  What I am unsure about it how much
 "program" is put into these parts of memory.

 Does the position of the +c[cbd] (or +f[cbd]) in the command line affect
 which parts of the program are placed in memory?

 For example:
    I have a program that has a custom pointer.  The custom pointer lives in a
    file called (say) pointer.c which has been compiled to produce pointer.o.

    When I link my program with the following command line:

        ln myprog.o -lc +cd pointer.o

    Does all data from myprog.o and pointer.o get loaded into CHIP ram,
    or is it just the data in pointer.o ?
    What I want is to have only the data in pointer.o to be placed into
    CHIP ram.


  Thanks
