Seymour, The text blocks appear as a continuous byte stream, but this is the unformatted representation of the text records, where each record is machine instruction.
It's probably a case of semantics and/or context as to whether text in an object is a block of machine instructions, or a record unto itself. When I said "may be 256 bytes" I was referring to the size of the instruction "record," and I probably would have been more accurate to say "up to 256 bytes." Ron > > WTF?
