Re: Constructing a relocation page table

You might want to take a look at Supermon for the PET, It uses a
relocating loader based on the value of the upper limit of the free memory.

As long as the object code isn't self modifying it *should* be no
problem to write up something in BASIC to scan the binary and tag all
the instructions that refer to addresses within the target range, then
put in a special code (ala: rle packing bytes) and replace the hi byte
with an offset value (i.e. first page in the target would be [special
byte] 00  third page in [special byte] 03, etc.
