Re: [cc65] Customization of cc65 for new targets

I don't believe that is true for all targets.  The Atari 8-bit has a zeropage size of $80 and the Atari Lynx has much more.  At least, I think that what you are referring to is the amount of zeropage space that is safe for cc65 to use, as listed in the linker config file?  Where zeropage space starts and the size of it is going to very platform dependent, and that should probably be pointed out in the document (which I haven't had a chance to read yet, sorry!)
