I probably used LAP-6 or DIAL to do the assembly - I don't recall right
now.
It seems you didn't notice that I included two separate programs in my
previous post: XMTAPE and CMPTAP ;)
In XMTAPE we see:
0215 0315 1161 0020 TAD (16.
0540 0567 1161 0020 TAD (16.
0646 0666 1161 0020 TAD (16.
In CMPTAP - a separate program - we see:
0216 0336 1166 0020 TAD (16.
