The 32k limit is the limit of offsets into a text segment that you can get to *from the jump table*. For intra-text-segment references your compiler is free to generate relative jumps (you can't fix the address because of relocatable code needs). Most compilers I am aware of in fact leave it up to the user to segment the code. Note also that as of the new ROMS the resource size limit has been relaxed. Jon Shapiro
