Can someone explain this to me?  I have a CoCo II running
OS9 with WordPak II installed.  I compiled a long C program,
and the size of the program ended up being about 5/8 the
size of my free memory.  But, when I tried to run the program,
I got an error message saying that there wasn't enough memory.
Oh, darn, I thought.  That's when I discovered that the program
was only about 5/8 the size of my memory, not including, of course,
memory used for the stack.  Perplexed, I decided to see if I
could load the program into memory.  It loaded fine, and told
me I still had about 20K of memory left.  So, I tried to run
it now.  It ran fine with no memory problems.  Can someone
explain why I had to load it into memory first?
