If it's assemblers/machine language, put it where ever you want as the lower memory is defined by DECB and would become undefined when you execute your assembly. program. If you are using assembly function calls while in DECB just let the assembler assign the location relative to your program. If it's only a few bytes then there shouldn' be a problem letting the assembler assign the location. It will put it near the program it's self as long as you don't use the ORG directive.

I imagine page 0 must becompletely full, but there's that DECB variable area where graphics page 0used to be. It's just a couple of bytes.Juan--Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttp://five.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
