I ended up going with 0x4000 0000 so that I
could reserve 0x8000 0000 to mean "we have
run out of bits, check xyz extension variable
instead".

And it all works - I can run (certain) Linux ELF
executables on PDOS/386. Including microemacs 3.6.

Also I added OS/2 support in a similar but not
identical manner. That runs C90 apps now (ie
certain OS/2 LX executables), but fullscreen
support is still pending on a couple of things.

In all cases, I am no longer dependent on
registers or stack on entry to the executable,
which clears the way for all executables to
be called with the PDOS-generic stack "standard".

I previously mentioned that I had UC386L, a 53k
Linux executable capable of running a subset of
valid Win32 executables.

I think because I eliminated memmgr, it is still
53k, but now runs the OS/2 subset as well.

BFN. Paul.
