------- 
The following was written by the co-worker of the husband of a
co-worker of mine.  I gave him copies of the previous episodes,
and he came back with...
 
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Still further adventures of Luke Vaxhacker                  episode n+?
 
 
Luke noticed an unused handler lying around and jumped to it.
The others followed and were soon able to execute an escape sequence.
 
Trashing some of its relocation registers caused a frame fault.  He started
working his way back up the return stack when he was roadblocked by Dec Vadic 
who stood with his bytesaber active.  "At last we'll see who the real file
master is" he remarked, bits,bytes,words,and nybbles, flew as the two
fought for bus mastership.  PDP-1 exclaimed "You were my best subtask! How
could you have been seduced by the sideband portion of the carrier?".  "It's 
simple," Vadic said, "I enjoy obscure protocol".
 
While the battle continued, Luke, Con, Bookie, and the Princess linked up with
the droids and found their way back to the inode where the Milliamp Falcon was
stored.  It looked quiet, but, Luke said "It could be an MMU trap" no chance
said Con, "I loaded the par's before I left the Falcon."  As they started 
toward it a squad of recursive functions swapped in and started firing ROM 
blasters at them. "I thought you said it couldn't be a trap" quipped Luke
"I said no chance for an MMU trap this is obviously a k-mon--f-trap-to 4"
Con replied.
 
PDP-1 shouted at the others "Escape while you can! I'll cause  
wait states as long as possible!" and with that he allowed Vadic a chance
to apply several hits with the bytesaber.  Instead of halting
PDP-1 was encoded onto the carrier.
 
The Milliamp Falcon was restarted and managed to escape the shell. "Quickly!"
shouted Con, "We've got to warp into virtual space!" The Bookie made several
attempts, but it was obvious that a CE had not done PM in a long time and 
it would take a lot of decimal adjusts to byte align all the data 
registers.  After much debugging, virtual space was finally achieved.
"Do you know the path?" asked Princess LPA0. "No sweat", said Con,
"All we have to do is check the free space map".
 
 
May the Carrier be with you...
 
Happy computing...
