[ continuation ] you have 200K of fast ram and 200K of chip ram left, and you have a 300K file to be loaded, it cannot be loaded directly. It can, however, be loaded in segments. Also, most programs allocate memory dynamically as they run via AllocMem and RememberKey (?) functions, similar to malloc. This memory need not be continuous with the program. This helps with memory fragmentation somewhat, a serious thing to consider when using a multitasking machine. Anything else? 8) — Ethan
