As I stated earlier, Burke & Burke's RSB already runs on top of OS-9, 
runs fine on a 512k machine and should be unlimited on 2meg, and is 
nearly 100% syntax compatible with DECB.  It has been a few years since 
I have used it and I don't recall the workaround for a ML program, if, 
indeed, there is one.
