Many thanks to Rob Prior who writes:

"I only found one error in your post, and that is in the MOVBUL program.
The first line should read:
 
MOVBUL [7477]
<< RAND .7 + IP -> VX VY X Y AX AY NDUD ... ... ... (etc.)
                                ^^
In your posting, you inadvertently typed an AX here as well.  I caught the
error when I was typing it in, so I assume most others will as well. "

Truth has been spoken.

Rob also got errors when firing from a tank or jet and noticed a 'G' on
the stack after the crash, thereby discovering that it is Gravity which
makes bombs fall.  

So, put -.1 on the stack and save it as 'G'.  Sorry about the omission.

They're really what happens when you don't cut enough blank space around
the jet to completely erase the leftovers during animation, but sure, let's
just call them 'vapor trails.'
