Well, he's not the only graybeard who didn't get that memo. I missed it too. I just looked it up, and Ed is correct -- IDENTIFY *must* specify an address within an already-loaded/fetched/etc. program.
Now why'd they go and do that? That means I can't use that old CompSci trick of compile-to-memory-and-attach-task any more. Shucks. I remember when I did that with Fortran arrays in college. (I know, I know, it's all about security and integrity. No comments in that area, please.) Not the same thing, of course, but what does that restriction do for JIT languages? ISTM that the IDENTIFY service would be useful there, except that a JIT language compiles to dynamically-obtained memory, not to a load module. Peter -----Original Message----- From: Edward E.
