You are talking about reentrant code, right?  Not resident?  I would
hate to have to go through all that to make my stuff "pure".  (I'm one
of the few people in the world without an illegal copy of 1.3 gamma
99999 )-: )

Could someone go over what it takes to make code RESIDENT?  I was
sort-of-hopeing that most well-behaved programs that don't modify
string constants (that are in the code segment), etc should work...
right?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
