 Turn the cache OFF is you want to be sure... If you do code creation
 you memory is not 'defined' as READ or READ/WRITE so you dont even
 have to do that.
 I alway consider code section has being read only, and if I have
 read/write data I create a data section (But keep my READ only
 structure/data in the code section, ho well :-)

 Self modifying code or running code is something else! Flush the cache
 if you really need to do it, dont think your instruction is not
 'preloaded' in case you dont turn the cache off!

 Relocable code is not done on a running task, and done by the DOS.Thats
 the diference...

 To make the story long, you dont have to do anything in your case...
