[Coco] Programs larger than 32K?

   Did you try to do a PCLEAR0? This is not a BASIC feature but can be
   done by slightly modifying the BASIC interpreter. I can't remember the
   exact procedure procedure but do a search. Google is your friend. If by
   putting your CoCo in All RAM mode is what you do to get it to work then
   most likely you are doing a PCLEAR0 method. This will give you about an
   additional 2K of program RAM. Other then that.... Nope.

     Is there a way to load a program BASIC that is more than 32K?   (I
     have a  program that is too large to fit into the  CoCo 2 when it's
     not in all-RAM mode)
     If put the machine in all-RAM mode from BASIC the machine crashes
     (which is kind of expected). But,  I can't have the program put the
     machine in all RAM mode, because I can't get it loaded in the first
     place (the CMOC nobasic example).
     Do people have a main segment that is less than 32k, which puts the
     CoCo in all-RAM mode, then load the remaining data from separate
     files?
