OOF can be used in such a way that you can savesystem everything (the
living
objects and the class metadata). There are two words, STATIC and DYNAMIC
(not in an OO context), which switch the allocator to ALLOT or ALLOCATE.

I usually keep the dynamic allocator when I SAVESYSTEM things, and make
sure
I recreate the objects I need at startup.
