Who could have conceaved of so many problems?  It's done, both demos have
been zipped, and another has been sent to ticalc.org

Alos, I haven't done anything to reduce the size of the demo, I think it's
about 4050 bytes, kind of bloated, mostly due to the calls.
I have a few things planned to reduce the size, definitly the most
ambitous is an interpreter.  I've been tinkering with it, it basically
reads the data after the call as an offset in an address table.  The
current model is simple enought to allow for a lot, I don't plan on
writing jump routines but it can be done.  Of course it's slower but the
32-bit routines are already slower...

If anyones interested in that I'll post the code, (no need to waste space)

later, and enjoy the demo.
