- Perhaps you can use the Free (or Fast Free or Chip Free?) command
- to reserve a portion of the total memory availabe (so you don't get an error
- by allocating more than is available) and hope that they don't wont to do
- something else at the same time :) ... maybe you can reserve a portion
- of the total memory and allow them to reduce it if they want to use less.
- Or perhaps you can reserve one bank for every 10k and join them into a single
- bank at 100k (sounds like it'd get complicated though). But maybe the best
- way since I don't think copying is THAT slow is this: Reserve 10k. When the
- 10k is full, reserve another bank at 20k, copy, bank swap with the old bank
- (so the current bank number is always the same), then erase the 10k bank.
- When it reackes 20k, reserve 30k etc.... Also, double check and make sure
- there isn't a bank expand command or something in AMOS pro... or have you
- already?
