That is true, but if you want to use your memory optimal with multiple
tasks, it gets pretty unorganised and you might have other programs
overwriting your hook, or something.

I have done that. I'm planning to write a small program, that should be
loaded from cassette on a MSX without a diskdrive and that will read a
program from the net and execute it. In the protocol I use, it is
nessecary that every computer knows it's ID, so it is also sent (and
incremented by every computer is passes).
