 *	Function: load
 *	Abstract: Dynamically loads a file from disk
 *	Algorithm:
 *                 This procedure dynamically loads a process with a
 *                 file extension of .MPX.  The memory address provided
 *		   is the segment address at which to load the process.
 *                 The process with the name in the string pname is
 *		   loaded into memory at the segment address found in
 *                 load_addr.  If load is successful, load returns a 0
 *                 return code, otherwise it returns a -1  return code
