That is not the best way to look at the "problem". There are quite a large 
number of modules/programs that include conditional 6309 code. When these are 
compiled, there is no provision for selecting the language Objct vs Obj6309.

 From a practical point of view, it does not make the least difference how these 
modules are labeled. However, if you run Ident and get the "wrong" answer, you 
might wonder just what you are using.
