Observe: 41024+1104+1498 = 43626b = 0125152b 49792+7310+3296 = 60398b = 0165756b The first is a not very complete version, the second contains everything except job control. Believe it or not overlays aren't a necessity in this world (although they do make things convenient, they make them slow too). >Looks like less than 64?

This is a split i/d 11/70. --Dave Curry
