I've had to maintain a program that was riddled with this kind of logic.
Clear a register before loading anything into it, regardless of
instruction used.
It also featured a subroutine that would emulate EDMK. And to check
whether or not a number was divisable by 9 it would add all digits, then
check whether or not dividing that sum by 9 would yield a zero remainder.

It's all rather annoying, but didn't we all start out empty-handed?
Please be a bit kind to the person who had to find a way of getting a job
done. A job he/she apparently was not too familiar with.

Cheers,
Abe.
