amusing to attempt to write the SAME logic in the SAME way on each

improve the implementation of this logic to see which is easier to speed up,
and perhaps see which has the greatest cost in terms of memory usage, etc.
It's truly a retrocomputing exercise, as neither processor is "still

in the sense of mainstream applications, or even as an "active" product.
