Hi,

Couple of questions:

1) Is it possible to load executable code (one that is linked with ld 
option -A; at least with BSD systems) to running program and execute it?
(I think it is, since KCL is probably doing something like this)

2) Could someone send me a simple example how to do this (on a BSD system;
actually SUNOS 4.0.1).

Nroff also does this kind of stuff with device driver tables, but in this
case it's only data...
