Filesizes are determined at runtime by subtracting the ROM offsets from each other. If you set an entry equal to another entry, its size becomes zero.

aha.. interesting - of course this makes perfect sense. So actually I need to set the J pointer to the next E entry

Just tested it and can confirm - if I set the J pointer to be E + length of E block it works correctly Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

EVERYTHING now works as expected including reordering of text blocks in the ROM and the using of the extra space for large setup files... Rolling Eyes

Thank you SO much zoinkity - this was driving me nuts. Out of interest, how did you work out this was the issue?

I already knew how they generate filesizes, so when you wrote:

For the J entries I've removed the data for from the ROM, I was just hoping to set the pointer to the equivalent E entry.

-that was a dead giveaway.
