Richard Verville writes
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.
