I noticed the very welcome addition of pointers. I will also mention
that the PB newsletter has what is probably the best pointer explanation
I've seen. Now, I noticed that they were *VERY* smart and added code
pointers. Has anyone tried to use these to make overlays? (ie load code
into a buffer and declare a code pointer to that location) It seems to
me that we could use this for things like graphics code (ie why have all
the other stuff take up space when you are only using, say, mode 13 and
not mode12 or svga or something) and support for printers or other
hardware.
