Very well written!
 
Also: with that disassembler listing available, it shouldn't be too
hard for anyone who really wanted to to write a program which
processed the listing such that the relative branches were replaced
by target addresses.  And by letting the program pass through the
listing twice, it could also insert labels.
 
Who will be the first to post such a processed listing of the Basic
for the Apple I ????
 
And then there's another interesting project: porting Apple I Basic
to the Apple II .....  :-)
