It's fairly trivial to mimic the loading stage of LOADM as long as the 
file data fits in the space you have available. I've done something 
similar for some of my incomplete projects, though my implementation is 
far more complicated and assumes a coco3. I quick examination of the 
LOADM code in the unravelled books should show you exactly what you need 
to make it work. (Don't look at CLOADM - it's obfuscated badly by 
historical stuff.)
