I'm doing a bit of compat testing, and while Panic works on a BBC Master, I've got a problem running out of memory on the B+ in the loader.

What I see is that PAGE is at &1F00 on the B+, and while it works to just do:
Code:
PAGE=&1900
CHAIN"LOADER"

I wonder if it's safe to do that?

Should be okay if you're just running from DFS.

Rather than smashing PAGE to an absolute address, it's better to dynamically move it by the amount that the program actually needs in the environment it is running in. See: http://mdfs.net/Info/Comp/BBC/ProgTips/DropPAGE.txt
