Runb is extremely buggy as far as finding modules.
My own experience is that runb will start to execute
a packed Basic09 program, but when that program tries to
call one of the machine-code procedures (INKEY, GFX2,
or SYSCALL), runb can't find it, even tho it's already loaded
into memory.  Maybe you're right about the same-block business,
tho I wonder why L2 would be mixed up over that.

Sad to say, I have given up entirely on Runb and use Basic09
for my own programs.  If someone gave me a packed program I would
just hope and pray it didn't use any of the machine code procedures,
but without them a program isn't much fun or use.
(I bought The Wiz, a Runb program, but haven't tried it yet and
now I know yet another reason not to bother with it.)

A year ago on Delphi they discussed ways to fool Runb into working
more or less, but I forget the details.  Maybe it's time to
reopen the wound.
