OK. Well. It wasn't a good idea. (I tried perform verification of code 
by fixing
a file offset while writing and check it when reading the file. But in 
all other cases,
*.ru files are always processed with sequential access).
I think throw out all ftell stuff from the VM code. But before it I 
think make a full
specification of binary code module format. It doesn't really need store 
positions
(as  the ftell make)

Regarding this, I think about whether to make a binary code cat - 
indifferent.
For example. You have 2 files:

module1.ru
module2.ru

Then I can paste together them in one module by `cat':

cat module1.ru  module2.ru   > module.ru.


It is when I found a feature but don't known is it useful or not
(but actually, the coding of our binary files makes possible such 
procedures).

How do you think, is it useful feature?
