I must admit that I haven't scanned the manuals yet. But I want to know the
following.

When executing a program all (local) variables are allocated in the data-segment
the stack has a separate segment? Yes?
                                      
How do I find the start and end point of these segments at runtime?
This for PIC-code and absolute code.
I could include two variables for the data-segment, and test the
sp a program start to find the bottom, but I'd like something beter.

Under sr9.7 I just used an empirical tested value, which has never proven
me wrong on our DN{3,4}000. But now I got slapped in the face. :{

Thanx,
	Willem Jan
