[A83] Re: Does ASM has a file size limit?




There is a size limit for the amount of _executable_ code in programs.  The
83+ has a piece of hardware that keeps the pc from going past memory C000h.
When it does, the calc crashes.  This provides ~8.8k of ram for executable
code.  This is also the reason why most programs have all the executable
code at the beginning of the program and all of the data at the end.
