Hi,

  What exactly is the pure bit for. Many PD programs say that they have their
pure bit set and can be made resident, but what does that means since you can
set the pure bit on any file?

  If I was writing a program, what would I have to do so that I can say that it
is `legally' pure?

Be seeing you,
