- Macintosh OS, for as wimpy as it is, has a neat feature of code segmentation
- and the ability to unload segments under program control. Is it easy
- (anything is possible, it's just a little more software ;-) to segment
- initialization routines from main loops and then remove/overlay them?
-
- Does anybody do this overlaying/unloading on VxWorks? Or do we all have
- oodles of memory on our SBC's?
