Disk blocks
Disk blocks are Collapse OS' main access to permanent storage.
The system is exceedingly simple: blocks are contiguous
chunks of 1024 bytes each living on some permanent media such
as floppy disks or SD cards. They are mostly used for text,
either informational or source code, which is organized into
16 lines of 64 characters each.
Blocks are referred to by number, 0-indexed. They are read
through BLK@ and written through BLK!. When a block is read,
its 1024 bytes content is copied to an in-memory buffer
starting at BLK( and ending at BLK). Those read/write
operations are often implicit. For example, LIST calls BLK@.

When a word modifies the buffer, it sets the buffer as dirty
by calling BLK!!. BLK@ checks, before it reads its buffer,
whether the current buffer is dirty and implicitly calls BLK!
when it is.
The index of the block currently in memory is kept in BLK>.
Many blocks contain code. That code can be interpreted through
LOAD. Programs stored in blocks frequently have "loader blocks"
that take care of loading all blocks relevant to the program.
Blocks spanning multipls disks are tricky. If your media isn't
large enough to hold all Collapse OS blocks in one unit, you'll
have to make it span multiple disks. Block reference in
informational texts aren't a problem: When you swap your disk,
you mentally adjust the block number you fetch. (cont.)

However, absolute LOAD operations in Collapse OS aren't aware
of disk spanning and will not work properly in your spanned
system.
Although the usage of absolute LOAD calls are minimally used
(relative LOADs are preferred), they are sometimes unavoidable.
When you span Collapse OS over multiple disks, don't forget to
adjust those absolute LOADs.
