Ah, sweet.

Works OK on Linux. One thing I noticed (that would affect DOS/Windows
too) is that 2600basic.h tries to include itself (contains "include
2600basic.h"). That caused DASM to freak out a bit...
Removed the offending line, and everything's fine. For 38 lines of code,
the sample is damn impressive :)
I could see a "n00b" learning this, then gradually adding inline asm
as he runs into the limitations of what 2600basic can do... Eventually
he'll be weaned from BASIC and the training wheels will be off.
