 1 # Example showing arg order on the stack.

 3 # Show difference between ascii codes of first letter of first arg and first
 4 # letter of second arg.

 6 # To run (from the subx directory):
 7 #   $ ./subx translate examples/ex9.subx -o examples/ex9
 8 #   $ ./subx run examples/ex9 z x

10 #   $ echo $?
11 #   2

13 # At the start of a SubX program:
14 #   argc: *ESP
15 #   argv[0]: *(ESP+4)
16 #   argv[1]: *(ESP+8)
17 #   ...
18 # Locals start from ESP-4 downwards.
