All your ideas are good ones and I'd really like a to see a block 
diagram of the "image processing / dithering routines". However, even 
the most common editor/assembler for the Coco EDTASM has no problems 
with source code for files 8K and larger. You just need to break up the 
code into small chunks and use a main file which is just a list of includes.

	ORG $A000
	INCLUDE PART1.ASM
	INCLUDE PART2.ASM
	.
	.
	.
	INCLUDE PART11.ASM
	END	$A000

The above will easily assemble Color Basic 1.0 on a real Coco with Disk 
EDTASM without any buffer overflows.
