Re: A86: free space




I kind of like David's routine.
It moves the stack out of the way and stuffs an extra buffer there.

It doesnt leave much program space but then again most of the graphics and
stuff should be loaded from a data string. Then you can use Ram page 1 for
any lookup tables or extra buffers.
