[Coco] Syscall

[Wayne Campbell]

It's not about how much free space you have. It's about how big the memory
block is that's holding syscall and whatever is merged with it. If the
block is more than 8K, basically long will have a hard time loading it in.
I can have syscall gfx gfx gfx2 and inkey merged together and it will work
okay. If I merge all of those with runB and preload runB, basic09 will
still run into the problem and report a 43 error when trying to run the
program in its memory. I do not know exactly what the cause is other than
it has to do with the amount of memory that it is dealing with where
syscall is concerned. The same applies to any other subroutine that you
have merged with syscall. If separating syscall by itself still has the
problem then I don't know what to tell you. If you have not tried loading
syscall by itself with nothing else merged with it I suggest that you try
doing that and see what the result is. If it works with syscall by itself
then whatever you have merged with syscall is exceeding the 8K boundary and
that is what the problem is. If syscall by itself does not work then you
are experiencing a different problem and I do not know what to do about it.
