Difficult. Technically there are certainly better ones (like Lionheart), but I think these are what I played most:

Yes, I missed that. Thanks.

Ok. So I added an additional option. -Fbin -oric-mcx now writes an Oric header with auto-exec flag (80 c7), while -Fbin -oric-mc writes one without (80 00).

Hi Graeme, you wrote that you already use a data section, which you access with base-relative addressing modes via A6, pointing to the middle (probably a 32K offset) of that section.

3089th entry was irrelevant, as IRA sorts them. But when looking at the tfx.030 file, you will see the reloc-offsets for adding the base address of section #1 ($00000001 at $70560) here:
