This is probably obvious, but I need to ask anyway, mainly
for my own peace of mind...

        I am trying to use MPLINK (for the first time). Using a
16F84 for development. The point is to build software libraries
and then link in the ones I need, as opposed to #include or
cut-and-paste.

        After I got everything to assemble, the linker gave me
the error "section 'ISR' can not fit the absolute section." The
'ISR' is, of course, the interrupt handler that I want placed at
0x04.

        Upon examining 16F84.lkr, I noticed codepage 'vectors'
extends from 0x00 to 0x04, and codepage 'page' from 0x05 to
0x3FF. So I changed 'vectors' to end at 0x03, and 'page' to start
at 0x04. And the two object files were linked together.

        Ok, so now I can't help but wonder: I would like to assume
that Microchip configured the 16f84.lkr file correctly. But since I
had to tinker with this file, I have this nagging doubt that I am not
using the software correctly. Can anyone shed some light onto
this for me?
