In construct_storyfile_z() (table.c), we find this code: But the test should actually be The values 0x10000 and 0xFFFF both fail. The mark value gets copied into
Write_Code_At. Then the header value for the initial PC (a two-byte field)
is set to Write_Code_At+1. If that reaches 0x10000, the header value is
bunk and the game file is unrunnable. See above.
