I'm having problems with the OSS Personal Pascal Loader.

I'm getting an "out of memory" error message at the tail-end of the 
loading process...  the image (.prg file) that I'm building is very
large, so this is not especially surprising.

I don't use large desk accessories or ram disks, so my opportunities
to get more memory are limited.  I have a 520...

So are there any tricks to save memory in library files?  I know of one
which I'm not enthused about:  turning off the various debugging features
cuts down the library's sizes and allows me to load.  I'm curious if there
are any better methods?

Is there a way to make the loading process selective?  Right now, I believe
that if one loads from a library, all code from the library is added to
the resulting executable, rather than just the code actually required...

For users of AstroCal:  I'm adding star charting to the program,
hence the above problem.


Thanks in advance,
