RE: LZ: How to do self-modifying code?

Wouldn't it be like using ld to set an address for a call to be executed later 
on? (That's not very hard at all. My ScrCap2 uses that technique.) By the way, 
the ALLZ80.somethingorother from that compiler that runs on the calc has 
everything, so you could just copy opcodes out of there.

just to expain this: teh standard usage of 'self modifying code' is 
code which modifys instructions that are to executed. It has been used 
here in the context of modifing data within your code, which is 
totally different...
