Does anybody actually have the run-time disk for Action!?  How much is
is really?  How does it work? How do you translate action files into
binary load?  Any info appreciated.

	I think the package runs around $40.
	Since ACTION! searches compiled symbols before going
	through the library in ROM, the runtime files are simply
	included in the beginning of the program. Setting certain
	system variables allows you to designate the ORG of your
	program. Even offsets are possible. The package includes
	the full library as well as subsets.
	After compiling you simply write the file to disk from the
	monitor.

	With a clever relocation scheme one could compile the same program 
	with a one page offset, create a bit map, and write a relocating
	loader... all in ACTION.
