might a lurker ask questions?
if one rearranges the code at bottom as this, is the load of R2 "cheaper"
because it can be done in parallel w/the LT? is it worth doing if the JZ
is taken?
is 0(,R1) preferred to 0(R1) because of cost or esthetics?
LT R1,POINTER
L R2,INTVAL
JZ AROUND
ST R2,0(,R1)
AROUND DS 0H
