Hallo Ulrich,

One or more free block in a row.

Exactly what I had in mind in the first place.
Then this question: what is against moving used blocks to fill up the free
blocks? The only reason I see is that it will cost time. But I could handle
this problem telling the compiler to discard this feature or to execute this
feature only when memory is needed and not enough successive free blocks are
found.

Mine is intend to run on a PC in the first place anyway so I choose for a
good compiler in the first place. And a good compiler will eat memory. So to
be very honest, I have my doubts if it will run on low-memory machines at
all. And I wonder if it is worth to put a lot of effort in making it run on
one. But I would be happy if it can run on my 720.
