Re: Flashing too big??

Hi, Kris --

Thanks! You have save my lily-white keester! :)

(Our bootstrap code shares a lot of code with the main application, and as 
the main application grows, the bootstrap gets dragged along. I was *not* 
looking forward to separating this code base into two!)

As a point of education, then, I have a question.

It seems like a "bank" would be 64KB ... which is why I would run into 
trouble when my bootstrap exceeded 64KB. (And most "banks" are either 64KB 
or 1MB these days.) I gather that JavaKit's limitation of 512K of flash is 
really 512Kb -> 64KB???   ... and so the -romsize option refers to bits, 
not bytes???

... just tying up loose ends.

Thank you ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you!

:)
