[Janesh]

Ensure all GOSUBS have their RETURNS and you are not exiting a GOSUB with a GOTO

try to get the best from the modules tutos you'll grab here and there...

You probably have big subs that have a lot of local variables. Try to re-think you prog in an object-oriented mood, and don't hesitate to use TYPE if it helps.

Remember a pack of variables (arrays, types, etc...) cannot be more than 64kb, based on the following rules:

1 integer = 2 bytes = 1 number ranging from 0 to 64535
1 string, len=1 = 1 byte = 1 number ranging from 0 to 255
1 real = 4 bytes

etc...

You can "pack" integers on one byte provided they range from 0 to 255, and therefore combine 2 parameters ranging from 0 to 255 into one integer (2 bytes).

You can convert a real number such as .7657 into an integer by multiplying it by 64536...

The rational is endless....

But always remember it's a matter of 0 & 1's...
