It means that if you unarchive/archive in Axe during the running of your program, the data in L4 will no longer be there. :)

Oh, and yunhua98, use 2-byte storage for most uses. It's one byte less than one-byte vars (weird, I know, but that's just how it works).

Waitwhat?  Two byte storage is one byte *less* than one byte? ???

Yeah, it's weird, but I think I know why.
Code: (Axe) [Select]
1→{GDB0}r

is one byte less than

Code: (Axe) [Select]
1→{GDB0}

because in Axe, numbers are treated as two-byte numbers for all operations (because it's all stored in HL, which is a two-byte register). So when Axe sees that 1, it loads 0001h to HL. Then when you store it to a one-byte space, it has to first load L (the single-byte portion of HL) to A (which is like HL for one-byte numbers), then stores it from A. On the other hand, if you're storing to a two-byte space, it just stores HL straight there.

EDIT: Of course, if Axe 2.0 (or whatever that was called) uses one-byte operations, it won't be this way :)

Ooooooh gotcha i didn't know you meant memory in code, i thought you meant 2 bytes numbers used 1 less byte for storage than 1 byte numbers ;D

At least not the RAM addressing part of their code...
