okay.  thanks again.  the one last question I had, and maybe this answered
it, if you have an uninitialized global variable, it list's it's section as
0 in the COFF file.  obviously 0 does not exist, since sections start at 1.
am i supposed to allocate space for all the uninitialized variables myself?
or are they stuck somewhere that's not obvious.   my guess would have been
.bss, but that's not what happens...

everything seems to be working reliably so far.  thanks for all your help.
