I agree. If at all, I'd simply use the last (upmost) ROM location for that "magic number" or "magic string". Another option would be to use a real "magic string" right behind the vectors table. Just introduce it by a known 32-bit word that can never be part of the vectors table itself. This is basically the way the old revision control system SCCS worked with its "@(#)" magic number, which was then found and extracted by the "what" command. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
