; This routine is used in preparation to move the screen memory
; in front of the program.
;
; It calculates the value to put into RAMTOP for a subsequent
; "GRAPHICS 0" call, and the lowest address which will be used
; by the screen memory afterwards.
; 
; inputs:
;       __STARTADDRESS__        -       load address of the program
; outputs:
;       lodadr                  -       (high byte only) value to
;                                       write into RAMTOP
;       lowadr                  -       lowest address occupied by
;                                       screen data
;


; When setting a display mode, the ROM takes the RAMTOP value
; and subtracts the size of the screen memory from it. This will
; become the new screen memory address.
; From this address it subtracts the size of the display list.
; This will become the new display list address.
; Screen memory cannot cross 4K boundaries and a display list
; cannot cross a 1K boundary.
;
; Work out a sane value for RAMTOP to prevent boundary crossing.
; RAMTOP is only one byte, it counts in memory pages.
;
; The ROM doesn't do this boundary checking, since it doesn't
; expect RAMTOP to have (rather) arbitrary values. For a
; "GRAPHICS 0" call and RAMTOP representing the possible physically
; available memory, boundary crossing cannot happen.
