So smelly or not we have a lot of stuff that branches conditionally based on
return codes
Nothing unusual about that.
Has nothing to do with condition codes.
from whatever was just called. CLI *,0 and *,255 along with CR R11,R11 gives a range of options
for indicating if something was good, bad or indifferent.
The ability to insert (say) a logging routine to trace an operation by using an IPM / <log> / SPM
and not having to do the <expensive cc setting routine> over again or worry that <log> changed the
cc outweighs the idea that doing <expensive cc setting operation> twice is somehow more
intellectually pure.
YMMV, but it works.
