-
- a) because it got it when it was first started.
-
- b) because is the task that starts the machine. It has to
- load execand will know where exec is. If exec is in ROM, and
- the startupcode is in the same ROM, then it can be hardcoded
- for that case.
-
- I think execbase does nt need to be absolute, and somewhere
- in the stack at the task statup is OK for it to be passed to
- child tasks (better protability than a register).
