I've been working on some techniques for writing
application programs whose combined data and program
take up more than the 63.5K available on Level 2
OS9 6809 systems.  That includes Coco 3 plus
Gimix, Helix, Smoke, etc.
Some of these techniques are useful on Level 1
as well, if you can stand swapping (LOADing) from disk.

Specifically, tricks for doing it in C.
There is the nice, official way, and a more efficient
(for most cases) way that involves some dirty
tricks (well, slightly smudged tricks).

Preliminary tests are very encouraging.
I'll have more to say soon, if anyone's interested.
How about it, C hackers?  Any BIG programs?
