Steve's Guide for Beginners Iss 9 (v2)

Issue 6 provided an outline of the instruction set
and addressing modes.

Issue 7 looked at one (inefficient) way of copying
blocks of code/data around.

Issue 8 looked at another variation of copying and
at the SPL command.

This issue is a bit of a cheat really, but since
they are pseudo-notes of my wanderings through the
core war world, I reckon its valid.

======

Study Steven Morrell's "My First Corwar Book"
chapters 1 (Imp-Rings) and 2 (Stones).

These are very clear and well explained - The only
problem is that chapters on other types are not
available.

======

Using SPL to do copies:

Refer to Beppe's hints on Replicators in "Core
Warrior" #1, #3.

======

Other info in Core Warrior is also very useful.
There is more there than is quickly readable.
