Re: A89: the VAT




What I meant is that the RAM that the variable x took up is not set to '0's, but it's just left
alone.  The variable isn't 'deleted' from RAM, just from the VAT, like on a hard drive on a
computer- when you move a file, it is just copied and the FAT is changed to reflect the move.  This
is how 'undelete' programs work.
