You also need to find out how data is stored in that type of variable.
xStat is a variable length array so I don't know what kind of trouble you
will run into if you want to make it bigger.  But xStat is a permanent VAR
so maybe it won't be a problem..  If I were you, I'd look into finding ROM
routines for this (dimL especially)
