I know that Resident and Mount are not compatible.

Hmmm.. I only have 0.3... anyone know where I can get REZ 0.4?

Another interesting approach is used in ARP...  it provides a method for
the program to request the size of the stack it needs,  helping to prevent
both waste and crashes.  A program can also know if it is resident and thus
clone its data segment only when it is resident reducing the overhead when it
is run from disk while still allowing it to be made resident if desired..
