RE: MOVE opcode in freeform (was Strange behavior w/%editc)

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This probably flies in the face of the "all free or no free" convention, but
rather than perform mass conversions I have been slowly converting chunks of
code to /free as I work on them with all new development in /free.  This
allows me to migrate towards /free without a concentrated effort and without
feeling like I'm converting for conversions sake.  I don't usually do a line
at a time, but a small logic block like an if statement or a do loop.
