 PIC is just jargon for "position-independent code".  That is, you can load it
at any (even) address and it runs without any need for relocation, etc.  Quite
convenient for my purposes, though it does cost a slight loss of speed. (Not
much -- it's still a bit faster than a conventional, absolute-addressed 32-bit
version.)
 .
 If you're still having trouble getting compact listings, I can upload a few
screens that I use on both Atari ST and IBM PC to print two across by four
down, with/without shadows, on Epson/IBM and Okidata printers. (I never got
the L&P listing utility to work quite right either, but then I didn't try very
hard because I already had this listing utility running on other Forth systems
and the port was so easy.)
