Why don't you just use the TEXT_MEM or TEXT_MEM2 for your variables? Also,
if you are using that many variables, you might want to reconsider using
space in your programs to store them. I try to stay as far away from the
APD buffer as possible, since I want to avoid conflicts with programs such
as Game Wizard. You have to be polite to cheaters, you know :) I mainly
use Game Wizard as a speed controller, but its always fun to see what
variables I can tweak in games.
