Sort of related to what you guys were talking about (ie resident lists etc),
is it possible to set the cool capture vector from a cold captured routine?
From my experience, the system executes the cold capture routine, but
gets an error and flashes the screen yellow before ever reaching the cool
capture routine.  My understanding is that this is caused because the
execbase hasn't been initialized fully at coldcapture and so recalculating
the checksum is useless.
 
 What I'm trying to do is allocate memory for my coldcapture routine, but
since this can't be done from coldcapture, I am attempting to go through
coolcapture.  I don't want to use resident tag/struct etc.  Any way to 
set the coolcapture from cold then?
