THE TOME has been found (dont ask where), and the results are both good news and bad news.

The Bad news is; there is no reference to embedded C code (that i could find in a brief review of contents and index).

The Good news is; there is a LOAD command that will load up to 16 files of 64K each, and a CALL command to invoke these binary (MSASM,LINK,EXE2BIN created) commands. large cautions on string handling in the binary routines exist....

btw, manual weighs in at 37.95 lbs.... ;~)
