<URP!> You're wrong and right. I AM programming the Amiga — among other
machines. But the 68000 RTS *IS* two bytes (4E 75, to be exact). Every other
CPU I program has a byte-wide RTS, and I forgot the 68000 was different in this
regard. Thanks for keeping me honest.
On the OTHER hand, if we assume the code segments being vectored to are too far
away from the re-entry point to be reached with a short branch (which is why
Cheath's table approach blows up in the first place), then the jump back would
be FOUR bytes long, not two… and now we've recovered all 200 bytes. 8)
