I've got a bit too much of a raging headache (and diminished 8080 skill) to be entirely sure this is *exactly* it, or what the heck it's trying to do, but I think the original implementation itself is somewhere here: <https://github.com/z88dk/techdocs/blob/6a97f97b9f87fbadf08ab3c1e8d29bd6be28e9d9/targets/m100/pc8201.asm#L1584> I know zx70's commentary on the 8201 disassembly isn't as stellar as the 100/102 disassembly, but it's still at least somewhat readable. I hope this helps you along your quest for your (wonderful, thank you!) tokenizer's advancement. I've seen in general you've been shooting for a true-to-memory—or at least true-to-freshly-loaded, barring line relocation—design, so following the original even if it's irrational and nonlinear and absurd could be about all you might expect to do.
