Summary: I admit it; I blew the example


	In article <491@rna.UUCP> dan@rna.UUCP (Dan Ts'o) flamed me for a
bunch of syntactic and semantic errors in my hand-assembly example.  A
while later, in article <2763@utcsri.UUCP> greg@utcsri.UUCP (Gregory Smith)
continued to find errors in my 6800 code.  The lesson here is that if you
are going to post something to the net, better make sure it is right.  Dan
and Greg are right that my translation was a mess.

	The point I was trying to make (and so far, I havn't seen anybody
who has disagreed with me) is that HLL's make great tools for helping write
assembler.  Once the code is written, the HLL version should be kept around
as documentation.
