I want to make a BIG program resident in memory.  It's bigger than 300k,
so linking it as a D.A. is out of the question.  Using a RAMdisk is not
desirable because then I would need 600k -- one for the ramdisk copy and
one for the running one.

Does anyone know a way to do a really big resident program?  It will
be serially reentrant, and ideally I will be able to activate the program
from a shell or the desktop.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

PS. I think maybe a termres program and a D.A. to re-start it when needed
may be plausible -- how about it?
