There is really no other place to put the a.out header except in the file,
and it is a pretty standard thing. There is a lot of stuff that you are
leaving out, including finding out the entry point of the routine you
want. If you have a decent unix that has the -A and -t options to ld,
then you can use a dynamic loading routine (there have been many posted
to net.sources...) to do your work for you...
