Hi Andrew,

  I can probably put in the exception vector stuff, de-camel-casing in 
the process.

  For ofwread.S, I have a slightly different solution that is needed for 
the G5 that I think will also work on the EFIKA. Plus, it's written in C 
:) There's a bit of extra code around it but hopefully I'll get it done 
soon.

later,

Peter.
