   Works for me.  I tried this past weekend but couldn't get a decent   
   design.  Have too many other things on my mind I think.   
      
   I find these compos kind of exciting, even relaxing.  I'll put in some   
   time, but if it's not in by Oct 1, no worries.  Go forward.   
      
   I had an idea also that we could use a front-end loader to take a fixed   
   data payload and orient it in memory however we need to, allowing only   
   the data payload to be the actual size, using a common loader with   
   common abilities.   
      
   It might be an interesting way to setup things like POP CS to allow for   
   some interesting space savings by designing the code in a particular way.   
      
   We may be able to do some of that with an EXE loader and ORG statements,   
   but it would give us more options if we could use a common loader.
