    ;This version repeats forever
    ;'org' and 'ent' are directives probably specific to
    ;the Zeus assembler from Crystal Computing that I
    ;used to compile and test the code.
    ;defm might be aswell, but it just defines a series
    ;of bytes.
    ;It can be run by typing RANDOMIZE USR 32768
    ;in Spectrum Basic
