Maybe not so easy of a lot of people. The linker manual leaves out a lot
of details for the non-VMS-system-hack. At the Fall 1986 DECUS
Symposium, I presented a paper titled "Ins and Out of VMS Shareable
Images" that I think makes the job a little easier. It is printed in the
Proceedings of the symposium (page 535). (If someone really needs to see
this and can't get ahold of a copy of the Proceedings, send me a message
(e-mail addresses below) with your paper-mail address and I will mail
you a photo-copy. Please, only if you really need it.)

P.S. I recommend that you get the printed paper instead of the audio
tape of my presentation. In addition to incorporating several points
brought up in the question & answer section, I really do write better
than I publicly speak.
