(Free42) GTOs - question
Thomas, a question out of sheer curiosity ;-)
The 41 and 42 encode the jump lengths in their respective GTOs.
Short labels (0-14) can record jumps forward of 112 bytes, and long ones can handle 3584 bytes.
Since Free42 is a simulator, how does it handle GTO's? I think it encodes jump lengths as well, but is it also held to the original limits?
(for the long jumps it doesn't, just tried that out. On EMU42 I get 'Global Span' - I bet no-one else has seen that particular error before)
This is one area where I don't mind Free42 being different from the original, mind you. It allows much larger programs, and someone somewhere is bound to write a program longer than 3584 bytes with a single alpha label in it ;-)

Cheers, Werner
