Wow! Exactly like the Atari-header again. A non-zero value in the last word means that the program is not relocated!

Maybe Digital Research (DRI) was providing development tools on both 68k systems?

Here's a small hand crafted .z which the OS will happily run at address $100000:

Thanks. The easiest and most logical approach was to include z-file support in the TOS output module (

-Ftos

). With tomorrow's vasm source snapshot you can use option

-zfile=<address>

to make the TOS module write an absolute z-file, already relocated for the given address.

There are some more similarities, like the BIOS functions accessed via TRAPs instructions and the OS's via LINEF (compared to Atari's LINEA stuff).
