Marvellous!
How is the options and library doing?
Can you say
xina -a
and do
REQUIRE DEBUG DO-DEBUG
REQUIRE DUMP PAD 100 DUMP
REQUIRE SEE SEE DUMP
and all that ?

Okay, here is the plan, assuming you are using mach-o objects.
(I read the doc's, it is gonna be no pick-nick!)
1. Find and apply all tools to strip the binary from all unneeded
symbols and sections. Look at loader options, and ``help strip''
``apropos strip''
2. link two versions. In one of them, add a buffer of $4568
bytes at the beginning, e.g. in front of cold.
3. Send to me (or otherwise publish) for both versions
A. binary
B. source
C. objdump output, or whatever tool there is to have
information of the binary
D. The output of
HEX BM . EM .
E. A DUMP of everything below BM that you can still fetch
without a crash.

Well, we haven't run the regression test yet. Mostly it surprises
me what problems still lurk, but they are mostly minor.

Once the source is somewhat stable, I can add it to my generic
system. This will provide us with nice tailored pdf documentation.
That will be version 5.xx though.
