Programming:Simple Raster Example 1

;;
;; This example demonstrates a simple raster.
;; 
;;
;;
;; This example will compile with the MAXAM assembler
;; or the built-in assembler of WinAPE32.
;;
;; You might have to modify this file if you are using
;; a different assembler.

;;

;; the interrupts following this will occur every 52 HSYNCs.
