Wow, we're still struggling to wean people off AM24, nevermind writing 64-bit apps. Do you want the linkage information for debugging purposes or are you trying to access it programmatically? If the former, then you can still write trimodal applications according to what I would call best programming practices, but simply mark your modules as AM24 so that they always get run in AM24 whenever you are trying to debug them. Someone else who wants lots of memory can mark the exact same load module as AM31 or AM64 instead. BFN.
