I like their idea of the extensible system they have implemented at the end of each programs by asking the next program to load and run.
I would like to keep that spirit even if the core programs & data are now in ROM.
It also mean that all programs will have to be modified, so 120 bytes it not a lot to work with, but it should be ok.

The "Next Program" feature can be extracted into an independent routine called by all others, instead of residing everywhere.

However I've looked at the manual and those 222 data files may be a problem: assuming each of those requires 10 registers, we're talking of a humongous database of ~15k !! More than three ROMS just to put all that data in...

The alternative is MCODE tables, but such is a huge effort than I'm not really contemplating doing... not even in the space-time continuum I live in :-)

Or am I missing the point here?
