For the sake of anyone on the list who's interested, I've made up two
simple programs to test my ability to comprehend the manuals. :)
I'm sure they're probably not the most efficient way to do it, but they
were the best I could do in a couple hours, starting from zero HP
assembly language knowledge. :) Also, I'm sure I'll add to it as I
spend more time playing with the machine.
The programs' sources are at:
