A question for the 4.2BSD gurus:

Has anyone played around with (and got working) the -A flag with 'ld'?
This flag (according to the manual) provides incremental loading and
allows an object to be loaded into an already executing program.

It doesn't seem to be well documented anywhere that I can find. Has anyone
got a simple test program that uses this feature?

Thanks,

Greg Watson
