I am not sure what you mean, but you can select the priority for each memory block separately, (but it may be that I added the capability to add multiple blocks from a simple table only after I released it, just for fun because I don't need it myself). >Interesting, I'll have to look at it. >(Can ya put it in a Boot block?) Yes, with some small modifications this should be possible. The main thing the code does is allocate some memory, copy the RomTag + code into it, and add the RomTag to the appropriate list. It also runs the code, of course, if needed. This is so you can stick it into your Startup-Sequence without causing the memory to be added twice. >yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu aka Willis F York aka Squid on IRC >The only thing that Apple invented is the idea to borrow Xerox-invented ideas. -- Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert rhialto@cs.kun.nl How can you be so stupid if you're identical to me? -Robert Silverberg
