If so, we have 25 global labels x 2 bytes + 3 bytes x 16 program files + 12 bytes = 110 bytes overhead.

4096 - 110 = 3986 bytes available.

Our 16 program files take 4022 bytes right now. Have to cut 36.

Add 2 bytes per program file (this is the COPY overhead).

Multiply global labels by 2 (for the FAT).

Other ROM overhead is 16 (for FAT, poll vectors, identity and checksum).

Then you have the header shown in CAT 2. It takes (number of characters) + 2, add 1 if you want it to RTN safely, otherwise it will crash (like HP modules tend to do) if you try to execute it.
