; One of a series of sample PC-231 programs to print strings
; Version #3: prints a fixed string which is stored in the
; computer's RAM in a data section following the program.
; Uses a loop and halts with zero "character" at end of string.
; Also optimizes for a single jump.

	DATA  #NEXT	; address of main loop
	COPY  DR,J0	; set up J0 for the jump
	DATA  #STRING	; address of end of program
	COPY  DR,R0	; set up R0 for use in LOADs
	LOAD  R1,R0	; get the first character from RAM
#NEXT
	WRITE R1,D2	; echo ASCII character to display
	INC   R0,1	; point to the next RAM character
	LOAD  R1,R0	; get the next character from RAM
	JPIF  R1,NZ,J0	; repeat loop unless zero char
	HALT		; end of program
