Good luck! I know you've heard me bitch about it before, but it is still
true that most of the contents of the binder manual are a work of modern
fiction. And if you ask for it to be fixed (as I've done many times over
the last few years) you're more likely to get a doc apar than an actual
fix. 

The last I heard on this was that poor John Kapernick had been passed
the smoldering potato. Haven't heard anything definite in over a year,
but I did see him bopping through the cafeteria in Poughkeepsie a couple
of weeks ago so at least he's still around. The "word on the street"
seems to be that they will yank the fantasy chapters from the book
rather than risk actually making it work - which would be a lot of work
in any case.

In theory you can get text sections in a PM3 program object aligned on
powers of 2 boundaries, as long as the only powers you wanted were 3 and
12... and while the PACK/NOPACK options seem to offer more or less what
you want, in reality you'll get "PACK" and be thankful for it. But as
usual, I digress.

Oh you wanted that in a LOAD MODULE???!!!! (Queue sounds of hollow
laughter and manic giggling emanating from the wilds of Dutchess County)
Dream on bud.
