	I have used a command in Franz Lisp called 'fasl', which
	reads in a compiled ".o" file.  You may then execute the
	compiled function just as if it were a lisp program.
	I also noticed that the loader ld has a -A switch that allows
	the programmer to do incremental loading.  I'd like to know
	how (or where to find out how) to read an object file
	into an already-running program, and execute it under
	program control.  Does anyone have any pointers to info
	on how to do this?

	tnx++
