Zap 1.2 is ready and has been uploaded to my drop box.

Changes:

1. Improved speed. It now takes just over 1 second to reliably execute a 
command.

You can now flash out Morse code with the lights if for some reason you want 
to do that.


"zap.dsk" contains the binary, the assembly file, and a help file is located 
at:

"zap.asm" which is just the assembly file is located at:

Any changes will be reflected at those locations.  When I am satisfied with
this version I will pass it along to Gene to post on his site as was done 
previously.

I thought I was done with this utility before.  But I'm going to keep 
fiddling with it with an eye on size reduction.
It is currently 534 bytes.

The range of the CM17A on the Coco seems to be about equal to its 
performance on the PC.  I can signal a TM751 transceiver approx. ninety feet 
away through 4 walls... including one with a brick fireplace.  But I can 
also kill that signal with 1 CFL.  I can signal a TM751 thirty feet away 
with a CFL in between without a problem.  It's X10, so your mileage may 
vary.
