Right, it doesn't actually point R0-7 to the appropriate hardware.
Well, I can tell you it works or hundreds of thousands of products out there would be having awful
problems.
When developing code I use an issue number like 0.3 for beta releases. Then 1.x for production
release etc. A major revision would take it 2.0 etc. One product we launched with a version 0.9
expecting *someone* to report a bug so we could be smug and then up it to 1.0 for production. But
no-one ever did find a bug, so for its entire lifetime this product was shipped with version 0.9
software ! Makes me chuckle every time that does. Furthermore it even announced it on the VFD
display.
Not that I remember, though I didn't use PLM/51 very long. I saw no
advantage over assembler, armed with suitable macros.
Speed of writing code. Excellent readability, no need to track memory freed by temporary variables
resulting in superb memory usage, you name it
