AsmComp if im not mistaken takes hex code, which looks like this:
8CA677E7423FA
and comverts it to another code. each two hex digits take up 4 bits of memory
this way, so 2 hex characters take up 1 byte in the final program, and the
program's size is cut in half. If you open this "compiled" program on your
computer in Notepad or something, all youll get is a bunch of random looking
junk. Although ive never tried it on the 83+, on the 86 it is also useful for
copying and renamaing any assembly programs.
