 1 ## compute the factorial of 5, and return the result in the exit code
 2 #
 3 # Uses syntax sugar for:
 4 #   rm32 operands
 5 #   function calls
 6 #
 7 # To run:
 8 #   $ ./translate_subx init.linux 0*.subx apps/factorial.subx -o apps/factorial
 9 #   $ ./subx run apps/factorial
10 # Expected result:
11 #   $ echo $?
12 #   120
13 #
14 # You can also run the automated test suite:
15 #   $ ./subx run apps/factorial test
16 # Expected output:
17 #   ........
18 # Every '.' indicates a passing test. Failing tests get a 'F'.
