params.mod (mod is the file extension used for src) which comes with the compiler is a good basic example. However to aid with testing I created an even shorter one:

MODULE rjtest;   (* RJTEST 2012 *)

  IMPORT SYS:=SYSTEM;

BEGIN
END rjtest.

Using a tstrip processed SYS.OBJ. I copied OC.EXE and SYS.OBJ into a test directory and tried to compile rjtest.mod (as above) with oc, tlink etc:

map file:
Error: Invalid initial stack offset

So processing SYS.OBJ with tdstrip didn't help much as the issue of an invalid entry point still exists and the blank byte record still gets inserted as well as the REGINT (70h) record.

As when I get a chance I will do some more testing/investigation. Re the REGINT (70h) record I'm thinking that patching OC.EXE is needed to resolve.

[edit: if IMPORT SYS:=SYSTEM; is missing it seems OC defaults to it]
