Mike W briefly discussed in A2Pro the original major upgrade to OMF - from being
used only for files to be linked together under 8-bit ORCA to being used
in IIGS executables. Mike did not believe it would be quick enough,
but Lou Infeld (sp?) added some things to speed it up.
So, that's 2 major upgrades.

Code resources are severly limited to one segment. It is almost a good
idea though - put code completely in resources, eliminate the now empty
data fork, and now more forked files.
