the tables are ideally stored in external .h files.
At least, the opcodes are shared for the asm and simu.

Some other tables are necessary for the internal working
and they are neither large or complex. but i have
"hardcoded" a lot of things anyway, because i better
have something that works, rather than something
perfect that is never achieved.

FC0 has been stable for around 2 years now. This does not
mean anything but it lets me hope. and i said before that
the code i'm writing is not going to be the definitive package,
it's only some "prototype" from which to learn experiences,
and which illustrates a lot of concepts that would take hundreds
of pages to explain in the manual.
