[A83] Re: program pointers
if you're gonna do it the hard way, couldn't you just do a
bcall(_chkfindsym) with your programs name in op1 and get a pointer to the
data? The first two bytes of your program are it's size. so all you would
have to do is take that and add $9d95 to get it's offset when it is running.
btw why aren't you using TASM?
