A vector, as in a vector set up by SOS for using libs? hehehe
Basically a vector is a routine set up by the operating system to use
libraries. They do work somewhat different on different systems.... e.g.
the x86 int instruction is a special intruction to use the vector table.
However, for SOS it is simply a jump table set up by SOS when your program
executes so that you can easily access a library routine (just do a call
vector? where ?=the vector number (you must have sos.inc included in your
program and your program must have the libraries defined at the end with the
pointer to them at the top)).
