Hey!

I know to create program files from within an
assembly program. You specify the size, and then
make an appropite call to somewhere.

But how would you create a 'dynamic' size. Ie.
in the basic editor there is an 'insert' operation.

You insert code, and the file gets bigger.

Such a usefull concept.

Of course you could just edit the table entry to
contain a larger size, but the memory you take
has not been released. (bad).

This could allow lots of cool things (word processors
on board assemlbers (not even slighlty easy) and so on)

Im not saying im going to *do* this....its just i'd 
like some info to see if it is *possible*.

thanks for any help,

Bill J Ellis
