HEY!!! That's the design I've been working on!!!!!!! :| U stole mi idea!!! :P
Okay I have already developed a conceptualization and design for this idea. I
have even begun coding a prototype. The problem I face is that I want to do a
really profesional job on it, that means compiling it and linking it. The
problem I've been facing is that no linkers are available and that I will have
to develop one for myself. this is a problem because I have spent all my time
studying operating systems and nil time studying linkers. If you can help me I
will be most appreciative. :) 

There is a d00d writing a book on the subject at: 

http://www.iecc.com/linker

Please contribute anything you know to him. =)

Meanwhilest you can say Yes, you support my design and will help me develop it
once I get this prototype out the door. :) (I'll be working on the prototype
once I have streightened out my development problems.)
