   And the global pointer is accessed via the parameter   
   after envp?   
      
   And other languages (Fortran etc) (can) make use of that   
   same pointer?   
      
   If so, that's exactly what I want.   
      
   And then I want PDPCLIB to be converted into a replacement   
   for libc, in the same way that Alica turned PDPCLIB into a   
   replacement for msvcrt.dll.
