Yep, that's totally in line with what I found - I was just as shocked
as you! It seems like a case of very coarse patching: "hey, I need
another address bit - oh well, I'll just pinch it from a data byte"...

Ah! Obviously I couldn't have discovered that from just looking at the
syx files Alex sent me.

Thanks a lot!

If things go well, I'll receive a BCN generously donated by ivaasura
in the next few days, so that will make it even easier for me to write
a basic editor. I just don't know when - the new version of BC Manager
is currently in its final stages, so I'll probably postpone the BCN
editor until after the release of the new version of BC Manager.

Mark.
