I thought the TIOS only insert/delete-mem'ed... Sometimes it might load
Reals for example to OPx, delete the var, calculate and recreate it. But I
don't think that's very likely. I guess it's a bit 'my fault' since I have
written in the ROMcall reference that they merely get "swapped around".

But you are right, there is no fragmentation. Files are always linear on
all the Z80 Ti's.
