Don't bother with either of those, they do not work. (The only CPU that ever
worked on was PowerPC) This subject has been covered in great detail many
times in the newsgroups and I've personally gone through every possible
gyration to remove that 4k block successfully without resorting to hand
coding location independent assembly code. None of them work. The MS tools
just don't support that at this time. There is also a problem with BIN files
being located at address 0 since a BIN record with address 0 is also used to
indicate the end of the bin file.
