[Coco] .BIN to .ROM

[Chad H]

Understood... unless I can determine JMP vectors and recode them to point to
the relocated code segment.  (only catch I think would be if the target
address was permanently fixed, such as in hardware addresses.)

Again, when in rom you are stuck on $C000 addresses. Will your program
convert all non-relocatable jumps, branches and read/writes to it ?
That's just not possible... you can tell what is data and what is code on
such platforms.

If the code is not relocatable it wont be possible to run it in other
address.
