       Reason for name: in the link part you can read uncoded:

             Bent vector: LoadSeg
             Resetfest: No.
             File extension: 576 bytes
             Link behind the first hunk.
             Test whether LoadSeg is already bent
             Activation dependent on $ DFF006 and $ DFF00A (new)
             VT tries to reset Loadseg in memory.
             VT tries to remove the link part from a file.
  
       Propagation conditions:
            - File is not yet contaminated (1 LW test)
            - Filename does not contain ".l" or "-"
            - Max. File length # 124,000 bytes
            - min. File length # 2400 bytes
            - 3E9 hunk is found
            - Disk validated
            - At least 4 blocks free
            - RTS is found (max.loop $ 3F)
            - RTS is replaced by bra.s or NOP
            Skips 3E8,3F0,3F1-Hunks etc. !!!!!
            The part does not respond.
          
       Note:
             If your HD is very contaminated, please start with
             the C-dir. (File Storage File). The frequent rereading
             this will decrease.
