REZ usually accepts almost anything -- >don't ask me why. Because it does a lot more than 'resident' and has some more smarts. 'resident' will take things with the pure bit set and believe you. As far as REZ accepting almost anything, he REZ docs explain better than I can how it does this. It will even work for some pretty stubborn programs by only allowing one copy running at a time and rebuilding the data segment when finished. The only program that I made resident that didn't quite work, was Mg2a, which worked just fine when I recompiled it with an option to put all string constants in the data segment.
