It will?  Well, I think the compatability with z80 code between the 86 and 
the 82 is far too different. I know a little bit of both, but thats just what 
I think, maybe im not seeing something. Its just, if you paste that code and 
compile for the 86, wont it not recognize a thing there except for the "jr 
Loop"?
