Alright - 1) Does it support shared code/libraries?  By shared code I mean
two processes using the same code bytes in real memory.  By shared libraries
I mean two different executables using the same library code bytes in real
memory implying some kind of linking occurring, and if so how is it
implemented?

2) Is the executable program code copied to virtual memory when it is run?

3) Is virtual memory kept in a separate fixed size partition on the disk?
