original author, whoever you are (if someone knows then  PLEASE  contact
me so I can give credit where credits due).



                         Gemdos Program Information
                         --------------------------



Basepage Layout:
----------------

Every program run by GEMDOS  has a basepage area which contains inform-
  ation  relating to the  program such as  size and  top and  bottom of
  available memory.

Offset  Name            Contents
  $00   P_lowtpa                Base address of TPA (Usually here)
  $04   P_hitpa         End of TPA+1 (TPA=The Process Area?)
  $08   P_tbase         Pointer to start of text area (code)
  $0c   P_tlen          Length of text area
  $10   P_dbase         Pointer to start of data area
  $14   P_dlen          Lenght of data area
  $18   P_bbase         Pointer to start of BSS area
  $1c   P_blen          Lenght of BSS area
  $20   P_data          Pointer to DTA
  $24   P_parent                Pointer to parent's base page address
                        (set to zero if a desktop acc.)
  $28                   Reserved
  $2c   P_env           Pointer to environment string
  $80   P_cmdlin                The command line string (1st byte=lenght)
  $100                  The start of the program


Executeable File Format
-----------------------

Any program run by GEMDOS must confirm to the following layout:

Start of file:          Gem Header
                        Text Area
                        Data Area
                        Symbol Table ( If Any )
                        Relocation Table ( Null terminated )
Gem Header:

Offset  Contents

  $00   $601a ( A branch short instruction to start of code )
  $02   Length of Text ( Code )
  $06   Lenght of Data
  $0a   Lenght of Bss ( Bss area is NOT contained in the file )
  $0e   Lenght of symbol table.
