A89: Re: Over the 8k limit?


The reason everthing works in the Doors Explorer regardless of the size is
that Xavier probably modified the userlib::exec function to allow the
execution of these programs without using a silly program like run/launch!
Also about your other problemsm the fill instruction was changed I believe,
just read the *.h file and you will figure it out :)

--h4X0r
