Protection _should_ be a standard part of every modern OS. It's a crime
that it is not implemented more often on micros.

What exactly does jasik's program do? does it only trap writes of programs
one is tracing through?

I think TMON gives you the ability to trap writes in specified areas. It
should not be too hard to make it sense out of bounds writes (it _is_
extensible, after all)
