Summary: _base and be careful with Ptermres


Megamax stores the basepage address in a variable called _base which is
declared in the runtime startup routine (as char *_base).  If you have
the library source disk then the routine to look at is init.c. If you
are going to call Ptermres remember that the runtime code will already
have returned unused memory to TOS during startup and to add the stack
size in use to the program size given on the Ptermres call. The stack 
size reserved is normally 8K and, I think, 2K if you link in the
desk accessory library.
