Re: A86: variable size


The number of bytes shown for a real on the Ram screen is calculated the
following way:

  86:  10 bytes for the value or data storage
       6 + name size for symbol table storage

  85:  10 bytes for value
       4 + name size for symbol table


 The 86 has 2 more bytes for symbol table storage.
   - 1 byte for the lager address size, 3 vs 2.
   - 1 byte for 'attaching' equations to list vars, holds equation index #
