Graphics GET limited to 64k?

[Sebastian Groeneveld]

In short... is this true?
And if so, why does this 'single memory segment' limit exist?

SCREEN 12
PixelsPerBytePerPlane% = 8
Planes% = 4
Wid% = 400
Hei% = 400
BytesNeeded??? = 4 + CEIL(Wid% / PixelsPerBytePerPlane%) * Planes% * Hei%
PRINT "About to create array of";BytesNeeded???;"bytes..."
  WHILE INKEY$ = "": WEND
DIM HUGE Picture(1 TO BytesNeeded???) AS BYTE
PRINT "About to grab image..."
  WHILE INKEY$ = "": WEND
GET (0, 0) - (Wid%-1, Hei%-1), Picture
PUT (16, 16), Picture, PSET
PRINT
PRINT "Successful!"
  WHILE INKEY$ = "": WEND
ERASE Picture()
SCREEN 0

Does anyone have a solution to save a portion of screen 12, larger
than 64k (350x350), to disk?

Save each plane as a file. Then when you need to load them
load each plane. If I remember right there is an example in
Ethan Winters book. It can be downloaded from the files section.
