Hi,
     I use many global arrays in my program and I am puzzled because the
binary size
increase does not reflect sizeof ( _new_array).
As an example, adding : unsigned long long    _BITMAP [ 64 ];  (sizeof is
512),
produces a binary size increase of only  about 53 bytes. This last number
varies from
49 to 53.
     Could you point me to some reference on how globals are stored,

Thanks in advance from a newbie,

Michel Chassey
