Subject: Another little progress update...

I have now managed to get 38 instructions working in the 6502. I realise 
I don't program all that quickly but my machine is a little restrictive; 
I've got some huge problem with how much memory different things are 
reporting and it keeps crashing. Anyway...

Using the Z and C flags shared between two processors is working 
incredibly. I have managed to get through a fair number of instructions 
as a result of them now being so easy to write. However, I am having a 
couple of problems - the major one being how the hell I am supposed to 
get 65536 bytes of memory (a whole segment) to myself on a PC. Does 
anyone have a sure-fire way of getting 65536 bytes of contiguous memory 
on a PC? I'm posting to newsgroups about this too so don't worry if you 
don't!

I really want to get BBC BASIC working... mostly for nostalgic reasons! I 
don't think I'll be doing much programming tomorrow as I've got to take 
the next-door neighbour's cat to the cattery and cut our grass (which is 
now actually over 1ft deep...); oh the joys of uni holidays...
