Hey Steve, I'm currently writing a CHIP 48 game.  I write the
instructions in Wicke's ASC format.  Just look at an ASC encoding of a
game to figure out the byte ordering.  The first five digits are identify
the object as a string, so they're always the same on any CHIP 48
program.  The next five digits is the hex size (bytes) of the on line
listing without prefix or suffix.  The last four characters is the
checksum of the resulting object. Anyway, commands are entered as
follows:  8XY6 => X86Y .  I don't know about the 'Y' and luckily I
haven't had to use it.
