|1) Snoopy is right about the reason for the crash when you type .123.

| goto ff;

I prefer putting it right before the goto ff also, it is slightly more
efficient that way. I was too tired and/or lazy that evening to analyse
whether or not there was some case that would slip through doing it the
efficient way, so I went for the safe but slightly less efficient fix.
|2) Snoopy is also right (gawd, it's awful dealing with someone who's right

Would it help if I shipped you a copy of my driver for the Ramtek graphics
terminal that doesn't work at all? :-)
