Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
I'll give the jump islands ago at this stage.
I don't want to move to CW just yet.
To make sure I've got this straight
In GCC I increase the pilot.ld to make
the code segment 64K. Then when I link
I'll get errors for any functions greater than
32K away and I simply use the jump islands for
these as explained by Mark.
I certainly would be nice to see the GCC linker/complier
handle these situations automatically. I guess that's
what you pay for in CW.
Thanks,
Hamish
