I had no idea where to place this.

Archive data and apps cannot occupy the same sector.
It means exactly that, apps and archive data cannot be on the same sector. Each sector is 16384 bytes, so even if you have a 1000 byte app it will occupy the entire sector. Likewise, if you have a 500 byte program on a sector you cannot place an app into that same sector.
I was confused as to that. Thank you. I am working in hardware-specific ASM for the Ti83+ line now.

Not exactly. Each sector is 65536 bytes (4 pages), and apps come in multiples of 16384 bytes (no such thing as a 1000-byte app). Otherwise, yes. For another example, if even one byte of a program is in a sector, then no app can be in that sector. Practically, this means that it could be the case that the calculator reports, say, 20K bytes of free Archive but you can't transfer a one-page app.
That makes more sense, because it matches up with the article Calcdude.
However, 1000 byte of the app and the rest is used by so it is an app that is X block size.
