Sorry guys, but the code I uploaded earlier had a bug in it.

I had pushed a
register unconditionally and only pulled it conditionally. 
This was no big deal
until I added the ability to process multiple commands 
on the command line,
then it became a potential trouble spot.  You'd have to 
pass quite a few
commands at a time on the command line before it would 
crash, but it would
happen at some point and be completely confusing to the 
end-user.

So if you
did downloaded it, please re-download it and accept my apologies 
for not
checking my code more thoroughly.

Unless I come across another major flaw in my
code, I am finished with this 
program.  It should work quite reliably as a
command-line tool to directly 
send commands to the CM17A or ran from Cron to do
the same.

Actually I may make one more version more with Cron in mind.  It
wouldn't 
have a built-in help message, but rather would just exit with an error

rather than displaying the help message, or perhaps just exit silently.  It

would make it smaller and imperceptibly faster.  Or I could just include the

ability to suppress the error reporting from the parameter line.  A silent

mode.  It would be bigger and imperceptibly slower.

Anyway, all current
changes have been reflected in the .dsk and .asm files 
online.

Thanks.
