      From: muta...@gmail.com              Is there any real disadvantage in having CP/M use       tiny memory model executables as seen on MSDOS       instead of .com files?              It seems a bit odd executing code immediately.              I don't mind if CP/M doesn't validate anything and       just assumes it is tiny memory model and skips       over the header and unconditionally starts executing.              That would be no worse than what happened with       COM files, and gives more flexibility for a "future"       (MSDOS) operating system to have more robust       checking and more functionality (relocation).              Thanks. Paul.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
