AfA OS in ROM?

[Doobrey]

I've just had a quick look at the afa 3.96 archive, and the only system lib to have a resident tag appears to be exec_lib.exe (and even that looks wrong, rt_EndSkip points back before the romtag).

Without a resident tag (+init code) they'll just sit there taking up memory, exec won't be able to find them so the patches will never get executed. :-(

Yep, that's pretty much what it does.
It's just a structure that describes what the code is (device,library,resource etc), what version it is, if it should be automatically run (and its priority says when it should be run), and a name and ID string.

Chris Hodges describes it a lot better than I ever could in the docs to  Luciferin
