It's all in lines 0-9, so Slammer is itself part of your BASIC program and
available when you need it. The code from $801 through $1074 looks like REM
statements containing ASCII patterns in the listing, but are executable
machine language. When you CALL 2107 to start parsing REM statements, that's
$83B, which is the spot right after the readable warning at the beginning of
line 0.

I'll post more in depth on csa2.p in a bit.
