It is the most desirable approach, I believe. I don't know how easy (or difficult) it is on the Ataris. On the CBMs (I know C64 best) it is relatively easy. C128 requires a little additional overhead though. No, I was simply surprised that with that little prg, the Atari ran out of mem but if the executables are much bigger, and the available mem is noticeably smaller, that explains.

I either missed it somehow (I don't recall it) or it was older than a month and I don't have it anymore.
