It is also wrong.  They screwed up what goes in the count bytes.
For example, the BYTE article says that for a repeat, the count
byte is repeat count+128.  It really should be 257-count.  They
also screwed up the count for non-repeating bytes.  They have anmaybe 257-count; my stuff is
off by one error.  I don't remember which way it went.  I think
it is count_byte = count-1.
