Yes, but the specific problem was a CODE address, so the -b switch 
won't help. To fix the code address problem you need to muck with the 
-r switch and then find a library that matches, which is fun as 
the names determine it. There just has to have been a better way
to do all this ...
   You can really tell the products that were developed on a 
machine with a hard disk: running on floppies always seems to be
an afterthought.
