RE: HP-71 Forth/Assembler ROM fix
Let me add another small bug in the Forth Assembler, that has been recently reported to me by an eminent member of this community :-)
The Forth Assembler generates null-bytes at the end of some lines in the assembly listing (the file or device specified by the LISTING variable). Null bytes have generally no effect on printers, but emu71/Dos and the ILper printer show null bytes as star '*' characters (for a good reason), and can make the listing file quite obscure. The effect can be noticed when the listing file is the Emu71 display, or the ILPer printer window, or a HP71 file that is later printed to Emu71 or ILPer by PLIST. When using Emu71 or ILPer, a workaround is to use a HP71 file as the listing destination, and then use LIST (and not PLIST) to list or print it. Note also that null-bytes are also generated if the listing file is the DOSLINK device, but just editing the PC file with notepad (for windows systems) replaces the null bytes by space characters.
