Well you would have to use _FINDSYM and deal with abs addresses. That should
work fine even if it spans multiple pages

It it is stored from page 2 on up, that would be a good idea. You could
create a dummy program 16k large to guarantee you have enough memory, then
delete the program and
use page 7 and re-create the program later and fill it with 16k of crap.
Does the VAT change though when you delete a program? If Page 7 is being
used and you delete a 16K program, will that free page 7? That is what I am
wondering
