(And there still is a machine rtfm.mit.edu.) Hmm, isn't it -fr for "fast
remove"? :-)
This reminds me of one question in the comp.lang.c Infrequently Asked
Questions (http://www.solon.com/~seebs/faqs/c-iaq.html):
11.2: How can I print a ``%'' character in a printf format string? I
tried ``\%'' but it didn't work.
Break the '%' sign out. i.e., fprintf("foo " "%" "%d\n", foo);
Alternatively, try
sprintf("o" "/" "o") to get a "%".
The astute reader will notice that the latter example uses
sprintf, and the former fprintf - this is because sprintf()
works by characters, or strings, while fprintf (``fast
printf'') works on files.

It was probably the 2001N schematics that were identical. I viewed all
3016 schematics next to the new schematics, and all pages were identical,
at least with a quick look.

Hmm, luckily the RAM is not on-chip on the processor, or is it?

I'd also like to fix my 1571's upper head.
