I may regret this (telling people about undocumented Metacompco assembler
features, that I received as bug reports for my assembler not supporing
them), but there is an undocumented flag in the Metacompco assembler that
allows the user to expand his workspace (internal memory allocation), for
larger assembles.  (At least this is my understanding).  Anyways the way to
turn on this flag is with the -c Wnum flag.  For example, the following line
expands the workspace to 150,000 bytes of internal workspace, assembling
foo.asm:
	assem -c W150000 foo.asm

	I hope this answers your question,

PS to rokicki@sushi.stanford.edu:
	I'm having problems getting a hold of you (my mailer problems)
	Do you have a plain uucp path?  Re: GNU C compilers.

PS to sdean@sol.UVic.cdn:
	I can't find any type of path to respond back to you, can you
	get me a better path back?  sol.UVic.cdn isn't in my databases.
