BTW, I have made a decision to change the tools I use to build with. Originally I was going to keep it all self-hosted on an Apple II using Merlin. This demo pretty much maxed out my patience with that approach. I actually had to delete some comments in order to build the object file without running out of memory. I would have to resort to disk swapping the source to build anything bigger. Not gonna happen. So I'm switching to the cc65 assembler/linker tools and build under OS X. I might put a disk image with the current source and tools I used for the demo out there if there was any interest.


It is easy to subdivide (and modularize) any Merlin program by
using PUT statements to include other source files.

I'd certainly be interested in your current source and tools.

My reference to disk swapping the source was from trying the PUT statement. It certainly works, but still excruciating. I'll put together a disk when I get back home on Sunday.

Ah--I've become totally spoiled by a CFFA and an 8MHz Zip Chip.  ;-)

It's easy to get nice-looking listings after capturing to a file.)
