Hi there, Bob.

Call me stupid today, but I honestly don't know=20
how to change my code to relocatable.  Can you=20
point me towards resources that describe the=20
process of migrating from Absolute code to Relocatable?

I'd even go so far as to offer money for someone=20
to take my existing code and massage it into the=20
proper form.  That would make it easier for me to=20
migrate other projects to Relocatable.

Many thanks!

dwayne
