 		 #129022 - a typical example of follwing rules to the letter
Responding to: ???'s previous message
AGAIN: CPL A ;COMPLEMENT A REGISTER

if the above comment has ANY benefit to the reader, the reader should not be reading the code!

Such comments are a typical example of desperately trying to find something to write as a comment on each line.

all this stuff would be so much better served by a title comment:
;complement A 700 times
and the line comments left out.

now I wonder, why would you complement the acc 700 times, the result is the same.
