Dear Editor,

One night, whilst on a recent visit to California, I happened to be looking for somewhere to sleep. Being particularly hard up, and it being a fine night, I had a nice comfy packing case in mind. I was attracted to a pile of boxes full of shredded paper behind a factory displaying a trade name in the form of a stylized ‘Z’ picked out in blue. I must congratulate the owners of the factory on the quality of their shredded paper, as I spent a very comfortable night, and left the area the following morning thoroughly refreshed. It wasn’t until some time later that I discovered ‘The Paper’. It was a single sheet, that the shredding machine had somehow missed, which must have worked its way into my pocket as I slept. Being a thrifty sort, and paper always coming in useful, I kept it.

On my return to the UK, I (naturally) set to to catch up on my back issues of INMC news, and was intrigued by Dr. Dark’s ‘Search for the Missing Op-code’. ‘The paper’ came to mind, as there was something basically familiar about it. Of course !!!! It was one half of a page from a programming manual, the mnemonics were there, but the shredder had had the op-codes. I offer the following to Dr. Dark, in the hope that he can discover the op-codes which go with these very useful instructions:
