I couldn't reply directly (I tried twice), so the rest of you 
please bear with me (& toss in corrections if I mess up).

1) As another msg has already said, copying the Action! cart
   is not something you want to publicly advertise for. 

2) Aside from that, it's impossible.  The Action! cart is a 
   (32k?) bank selected "super-cart", meaning that there are
   seperate sections of the Action! system that try to run
   in the same address space (and can do so due to the bank
   selection scheme).  You can't get that out into one binary
   file.  

3) You might not have to create an autorun.sys to compile each
   time.  Try compiling Kermit.  Write it to disk as "kermit.tmp"
   Make a copy of your rs232 driver as autorun.sys & then use
   the dos C option to append the two files
   (C
    What files? (or something like that)
    kermit.tmp,autorun.sys/a
    (rumble... rumble... rumble....)
    D
    What files?
    kermit.tmp
)

    Now, you have the disadvantage of having to reboot the system
    each time you want to communicate, but you don't have to re-compile
    each time.

Good luck,
