:     Sorry, Matt, I suggest you re-read your manual, specifically, the "Ap-
:plicable Addressing Modes" column. The ONLY loopable shift instructions are
:the shift instructions that shift MEMORY one bit at a time (word-sized), and
:address the operand as (Ay), (Ay)+, or -(Ay). So allen is correct;
:
:	asl.l	#1,D1
:
:is NOT a loopable instruction.

	Whoops.... you're right, I'm wrong.  Oh well, the algorithm wasn't
all that hot anyway.
