I have had about five letters all telling me the same thing - coff2exe padds the program so it is on a 1k boundary to make it easier to load into memory. I'm not sure I believe loading x number of 1k segments and then a few trailing bytes is that hard to do, but I guess it makes sense, since my magic number was 27 * 1024. Anyway, it's the solution I'm going to believe unless DJ decides something else. :) Kim
