So Hideaki, what exactly do you plan on including in this new shell of yours? Relocation and unrelocation (just location? :) ) right? Will it be backwards-compatible with CrASH 1.5 and Ash 3.0 programs? What kind of new routines have you decided to include so far? Give us some details man! :) P.S. I think you should include a graph mem clearing routine. HotBot - Search smarter. http://www.hotbot.com
