There is a DATA MODULE type, where the body of the module can be  
linked to from multiple processes, then each gets a pointer and access  
to the body area and can read/write that data. That is the OS-9  
mechanism for data sharing.

You can fix the CRC and save the module out, load it on reboot, and  
the variables would be back.

I should write some code for that. (Semaphores, I am not sure of,  
under OS-9/6809.)

Boisy, you know?
