 Each programs sets its identifier flag in the table. Richard


and it nay be that we are at last making some small progress.

What I now suspect is that this 'program' is a table that has an entry for each of a set of [other] programs and that in addition to identifying each of these programs, perhaps by name, it contains an identifier flag byte or the like that each of these programs may set to register its presence for some as yet undetermined purpose.

An alternative design would use a read-only, assembled table to identify these programs and a list, binary-search tree or the like for the registration function.

Also, if, as I now suspect, Mr. or M. Verville is francophone, some of the quaintness of his exposition is explained and very fully excused, and since I am bilingual in French and English, I would be pleased to translate into technical English and post for all a French-language statement of his problem if he wishes to provide one.
