Well routines that are only called once will still get inlined. And with 24 registers I have a lot more freedom, than with just 8. Historically Fortran did not have a call stack and it made procedure and function calls just fine. The same techniques with registers instead of hard coded memory locations should work fine. > > So far it is working well enough and there are other priorities that I > > have not come back to it.

You haven't had your debug code fail to compile because linuxbios goes over the 64K limit yet either.
