Thank you for the update! I really like the C128 like direct memory save and load functions.
(this makes the load of started screen, music, or Charset really easy, or just saving a created PETSCII picture memor dump, to able to load it back. Frankly speaking the later funtion is missing from most of the crosstools, they create BASIC code, ASM code or self runnable viewer, but not the exact copy of $0800-0FE8, you could load into your BASIC program)
The DISPATCH function made it COMPLETE.
You know, we had some really useful extensions in the past (S.A.M.+4; Sprite BASIC), even G-PASCAL or FORTH, but most of the cases the written code could not be run alone. (maybe they were some, but I am now aware of any)
This limitation usually ends the life of written programs, as usually even the original extension/language was not attached to the code, and made the use of them a little complicated. A self-runnable single PRG is much more convinient. Thank you for your efforts!
