Hey Steve,
Were you able to load / save using TS-DOS with this also? I believe it
should work, but TS-DOS does have to modify the "next BASIC line address
pointers" when it inloads an .BA file.

..... It works.
You can go past the 256 character limit. Seems like you must still
terminate the BA correctly.
Wow.

I think the linker routine ends at 65529. Can't say for sure, but
I got the sense that if I can have a line number of 50 following
65531, and further if there is also a line 50 in the visible basic
program, and they don't collide, then.... the linker must ignore
what it finds below 65529.

no, I think you still need line numbers, but that is an
interesting thing to check. it amounts to running a line
longer than 256 bytes.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. You commented above
about assigning a string so you could find a ML blob following
the string line at a calculatable offset. That ML blob might
have no restrictions whatsoever! Well unless you READ through
or execute through it. So maybe tricky.
And given that tokenized BASIC programs are a linked list
structure, if a blob of data existed between lines, would that
affect anything?
