Raw files for these HP 67 program listings ?

That said, bytes spent to make the game better (output labels for one) are better than 12 bytes to say Tic-tac-toe, IMO. :-)

OK, now there are 35 more bytes to spend: indeed the 67 version of TTT had a substantial number of steps that appear twice. Also the handling for the first and all subsequent moves can be combined. LBL d and D can be handled in one common routine as well. The program is now down to 98 steps and 205 bytes. Without the "TIC-TAC-TOE" prompt we are even below 200. ;-)

More on this later.
