Comparative programs produced in other environments:

1. Must be a Standard Standalone ProDOS SYSTEM program capable of leaving 
the system stable after running.

2. Must support timing in 1 second increments.

No Point in Comparing Apples to Bananas.

The first assembly language program I ever wrote! For a university course, 
in the assembly language of a defunct real computer running as a emulation 
on more modern hardware (well, modern for the early '80s, anyway). The 
emulator was written by the course professor, who was loath to give up his 
beloved machine.

That'd be a familiar scenario to today's retro enthusiasts, but I suspect it 
was more because he didn't want to be bothered learning anything new that he 
didn't have to. Given how little else he actually contributed to the course, 
I begin to wonder lo these many years later whether he actually wrote that 
emulator or had someone do it for him.

Wait a minute... that wasn't professor Stein on his beloved Cyber, was 
it, by chance...?

University of Minnesota? Could very well have been - an older gent at the 
time, and Google finds for me a document mentioning Marvin Stein and CDC 
machines.

Yep.  That's the place, he's the guy.  I took an assembly language 
course with him too.  It was my first exposure to self-modifying code... 
it was a requirement to complete at least one of the assignments.  Good 
times.

It's good to realize that before there were car batteries and electric
starters there was artful cranking. ;-)

You really learn about index registers when you don't have any!
