fragmented or limited zero page space about taliforth2 HOT 2 OPEN

Sorry for the late response -- and yikes, I'd never even considered a fragmented zero-page space. I'm slightly at a loss at the moment (uh, what have you done in the meantime?) and also wonder if Ophis is able to do something like this.

One question that has been popping around in my head is if it would be worth the effort to port Tali to a different, more common assembler. Any suggestions?

@cstrotm Fear not, a solution is on the way. We've decided on 64tass as the new assembler for Tali Forth 2, and though it might take a little bit to switch everything and slightly longer than that to make full use of the functions, this should take care of the problem.
To see how it will probably work, take a look at Cthulhu Scheme, which I started from scratch to force myself to use 64tass on its own terms. In the file https://github.com/scotws/Cthulhu-Scheme/blob/master/definitions.asm you'll see that Zero Page definitions all just to into a section definition. Then, the platform-specific file https://github.com/scotws/Cthulhu-Scheme/blob/master/platforms/platform-py65mon.asm tells you where that can be.

If I understand 64tass correctly, Zero Page and other parts can be fragmented. You'd just have to do some work with your own platform file.
