Re: LZ: Running Apps. Off Expander

you MUST load files down at least in "chunks" and then execute those. many
of us (including I in Megaracers with diff. tracks) have been considering
having automatic loading of levels and tracks in games. I.e., you load the
small front-end of a game onto the calc. when you want to race a
particular course (or level) the game itself automatically loads the
level, and when finnished deletes it. this is as small as possible you can
get, there is not way you can just download byte by byte and then expect
continious execution. at least, I don't belive this would be possible.
think of the expander as a nice calculator version of your computers
cd-rom, only better ;)
