    Your comments are not accurate. You are enumerating from 0 to 9!

      how about?

      // enumerating i from 0 to 10 (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      {
      // printing i to the console (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
      Console.WriteLine(i);
      // TODO should do something more useful later (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
      }

      That one is actually useful - it triggers Visual Studio to add it to the Tasks List. Visual Studio Tasks List[^]

            UNless it's changed in 2k10 I don't think the task list is particularly useful outside of VB because of non-overridable language specific behavior. In VB it shows all the TODOs in the solution. In C# it shows all the TODOs in open files. In C++ it shows all the TODOs in the file being edited. The latter two are near useless in larger projects. Instead I litter my .cs files with #warning TODO blah... lines.

                        1992-08-02 (or thereabouts), but I still print my code occasionally. Nowadays I use Word and I have a header that indicates the filename and pages.

                                        If DG == Data General, I'm not surprised. I used a DG 'Nova 4' system one time, a very long time ago. Regarding the doubled HALT instruction, that's also not too surprising. Depending upon the interrupt architecture and when they increment the program counter, I could see a glitch between decoding the HALT instruction and its execution causing the code to continue executing.
