  This will get you one byte less than 64K.  (You can always PEEK and
  PUT that last byte!)  Gotta compile this one from the command line.

  DEFINT A-Z
  DECLARE SUB BigSave ALIAS "B$PUT3" (BYVAL FileNumber, BYVAL Segment,
                                           BYVAL Offset, BYVAL NumBytes)
  FileNr = FREEFILE
  OPEN "MEMDUMP.DAT" FOR BINARY AS FileNr
  Segment = &HC000          'Let's dump the video ROM
  Offset = 0
  CALL BigSave(FileNr, Segment, Offset, &HFFFF)
  CLOSE FileNr
