Bob, there's no reason for the /end-free.  Any line with a 'C' in
position 6 should just be taken as a fixed-format line.

This is complexity by fiat; a restriction added entirely at the
discretion of the compiler team.  Better yet of course is a free-format
MOVE:

Anyway, as Colin says, old horse.
