Hello. I was using the GRC utility to create a GEOS VLIR file. I have two questions: * GRC seems to pad one byte (a zero?) to the end of each GEOS VLIR module. For example, a GEOS VLIR application would have five VLIR records with the following byte sizes: V0# 8004 bytes, V1# 4254 bytes, etc. With GRC, the resulting module sizes are: V0# 8005 bytes, V1# 4255 bytes, etc. While adding (padding) a zero is normally harmless, I still need for exactness, especially in creating duplicates of existing GEOS applications such as geoWrite 128 v2.1 so I can do file comparisons. (It could also be noted that Star Commander could have been shorting VLIR index information by one byte in the .CVT conversion and that GRC does it correctly.) * How do I add blank records? For example, a VLIR application would have its first ten VLIR links filled with modules, followed by a blank link (00,ff), followed by additional five VLIR links, then with three more blank links (00,ff) and finishing off with 00's for the rest of the VLIR chain. Is there a NULL directive for GRC to insert blank VLIR links?
