Well, jakoc doesn't generate code with rotate ops in it anymore. It used to back when examples/assembly/queens.pasm was generated. At the time, I was really pushing the envelope wrt subroutine calling conventions and such. At one point I implemented a swap op, which Dan had me replace with rotate. At that time return addresses and data were all on the same stack, IIRC. I'll overlay queens.pasm with a newly generated one.
