Good point.
But I also have to note that I'm not likely to implement any of this in 
ZEMU. Even 16K is horrendously much. ZEMU runs on PDP-11. I only have 
64K total of memory, and I need to keep both the stack, the low memory 
of the game, some parts of the Z-code, and other miscellaneous data in 
that 64K.
That's also why I have ignored blorb. Way too much extra code and data 
to deal with that, with very little gain.
