Excellent! Thanks for posting about this. I lost a lot of the work I did 
on it over the years; it's nice to see so much of it restored. In 
particular, the error codes on screens 4 and 5 were recreated by trial 
and error. I put a generic "Error n" on (apparently) unused lines just 
to see something when that error number was generated. Some of the 
empties may have been used by the editor and assembler.
