It won't work. You won't have enough size for it AND the source. The source would be HUGE, a program filled with hex will be twice as big as the assembled program. 12k limit? If you wrote it in straight hex, you could only get 8k. With ASCII source, this would be impossible unless you stored source in the archive and did your own assembling. Even then, you would have so many flash writes that you would kill your calculator.

What if the oncalc assembler was written in flash and thus took up no memory in and of itself.

I was assuming that already. The source would still be too big.
Look at this comparison:
Code:
ld b,d
is 6 bytes on the calculator, 1 byte when assembled (42 by the way Smile).

If you break the source up into small segments (and later #include them), each individual segment would be large enough to fit in RAM. In that case, of course, the assembler should be able to read from flash.

And it would need to assemble directly instead of letting the OS do it.
