I forgot to add...the other major difference is that NM code can address
a heck of a lot of code/data: many, many gigabytes (1 to 4 gigabytes easily,
and thousands of 4 gigabyte chunks with slightly more work ... far far far
more than HP-UX (or most any other machine)).  CM code can address
64 KB of data easily, and hundreds of 64 KB chunks with some extra work.
