These are just redundant and wasteful, but how about
    while(UnsignedVar >= 0) ... ;
which gives you lots of stare-at-screen time when run?

BTW, the 6809 C compiler is buggy re 
    if(IntVar)
and must be written
    if(InVar != 0)
since the compiler tests only one byte of the 16-bit D register.

Don't know if there's an FAQ list of Microware  C compiler bugs, but this 
would be near the top of the list (or the bottom, if compiled by Letterman :-)
