To be honest, I wrote the original code on paper and hand translated it to
machine code and typed it in from the monitor. Later, after accidentally
tripping over the mini-assembler, I began to use it to key in the still
paper-written code. When a piece of code finally worked right, I'd use
Appleworks to create a text document with the source code in it. By the time
I finally got Merlin, my computer only had 2 or 3 months to live.

As I stated before, the machine & drive that I kept that on had long since
died. I'm currently re-writing the project based on the notes that I can
still find. This time I'm writing the code in Merlin and backing it up on my
PC.

I wouldn't know how to gadge that, but the only non-relocatable portions
were the storage locations in the 1st 4K of memory in Main and Aux0 memory.

Between my job, my daughter, my parents, and my other projects, time is
going to be a little tight between now & Jan. If I'm lucky, I'll be done
re-constructing as much as I have notes for by mid Nov. All coding beyond
that will be completely new.
