   Hmm, yes, linking might be a problem.   
      
   I can vaguely remember there was a tpu2obj on simtel. Never tried that route   
   though. Considering its date (1988) it is probably for very old  TPs.   
      
   Other then that, maybe link it to an overlay on a fixed address and try to   
   load that? Still not an easy solution.
