Does anybody out there know what the following lines of BASIC mean?
 (this is supposedly written for an HP 9836)

SUB Out_word(@GPIB,INTEGER Xbuf(*),N)
     INTEGER Odata
     FOR I=1 TO N
       Odata=ROTATE(Xbuf(I),8)
       OUTPUT @GPIB USING "#,W";Odata
     NEXT I
     SUBEND

This obviously is sending data to a GPIB device, but what would be the
equivalent in C?  What does the ROTATE function do?   What does the
output look like (binary word transfer or formatted ASCII)?

Thanks for all your help,
