But I'm not sur eit can be done. It involves keeping no variables in
the program itself, and therefore using pretty big chunks of bank 0
memory. But even then there are still GS/OS parameter blocks which
pretty much must reside inside the program. There would have to be
semaphores around all accesses to GS/OS paramter blocks, and since
each instance of the program is seperate, who creates the semaphores
and tells everyone else about them?..
