[Coco] CLOAD to LOAD help pls

[Arthur Flexser]

There are different techniques for end-packing code.  If the exec address
SP is specified properly with respect to the end-of-program pointer at
$1B-1C so that you are exec'ing to an address that is some specified number
of bytes below the end of program, it should work okay when loaded from
disk.  If the programmer didn't do it that way, but specified the exec
address SP as some constant, then it'll be messed up when the program is
moved to disk.
