Yah.  Adding a couple hundred ORDER statements helps a lot.
The residue of differences:

o There are a few externals defined with no associated ADCONs.
  DELINKI doesn't propagate these.  It probably doesn't matter.

o Order of defined LABELs in the M A P is unpredictable when
  the labels have identical offsets.  Irritating.  Binder
  ought to sort these for the map.

o Offsets of Q-CONs don't match.  I hope this doesn't matter,
  because there's nothing akin to ORDER to control the order
  of Q-CONs.  But what about this?

- CLASS  B_PRV             LENGTH =      7E0  ATTRIBUTES = MRG, NOLOAD
+ CLASS  B_PRV             LENGTH =      7C8  ATTRIBUTES = MRG, NOLOAD

  Might this be because of the unreferenced externals, a few
  of which are Q-CONs?

Thanks again,
