    DOS and other OS packages include a built in loader that completes the
    process of assigning specific addresses to relocatable code. In order
    to do this for an embedded device, you need a locator to run after the
    compiler is finished to complete this step. There are a number of them
    availble either published with source code or open source. The best
    one I have used was published in a Dr. Dobb's Journal over ten years
    ago in an article titled "Location, Location, Location." I have also
    used one from Circuit Cellar's ftp site.
