I'm working on a modern "The First Book of KIM" [1] and there are pages of assembly code for games, utilities. Alongside the assembly is the machine code (byte code).
As near as I can tell, the assembly is not formatted in a way that would actually assemble? Furthermore, there are missing labels, errors… My understanding is that the assembly is there more or less as documentation for the machine code—it was the hex that the person purchasing the book was expected to enter into KIM.
