The Module is for heap management within the Wimpslot; the code file is
simply a bit of assembler to speed up BASIC's string handling.

The only part of the program which interacts with the Absolute file is
the BASIC program, and all that does is issue command-line strings:  I
won't guarantee that !Infozip can't cause memory exceptions on its own
due to sloppy assembler, but at least those bits don't have anything to
do with calling compiled C....
