[Coco] Programs larger than 32K?

[L. Curtis Boyle]

There were some commercial programs that allowed two 32k BASIC programs (after a little ML setup, it kept your ROM’s in the upper 32k, and bank switched two 32k RAM banks in the lower half. Can’t remember the names of them, though, off the top of my head.
