Carsten Sorensen e895832b2b Initial revision: imported RGBDS source code
The code comes from the RGBDS source and documentation zip files found
on this website:

http://www.otakunozoku.com/1999/08/01/rednex-gameboy-development-system/

The same website reports:

	"Best of all, it’s free! That’s right! Free! The executables
	are free to use, either for personal hobby use, or full blown
	commercial productions — I know of at least a dozen commercial
	games you can purchase that are written with RGBDS — and the
	source code is free to modify.

	"The only thing I ask is that you do not charge for either
	distributing the executables or source code, and any derivative
	works you give credit to the original authors of the tools.
	That means you have to say “Thanks” to the original authors
	SurfSmurf and Otaku."

<P>Suppose you're feeling lazy and you want to unroll a time consuming loop. <B>REPT</B> is here for that purpose. Everything between REPT and ENDR will be repeated a number of times just as if you done a copy/paste operation yourself<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="Black" CELLPADDING=8 WIDTH="50%">
<TR>
<TD><FONT COLOR="#00FF00">
<PRE>REPT 4
add a,c
ENDR</PRE>
</FONT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<P>This will assemble <B>add a,c</B> four times.<BR>
<P>You can also use REPT to generate tables on the fly:
<TABLE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="Black" CELLPADDING=8 WIDTH="50%">
<TR>
<TD><FONT COLOR="#00FF00">
<PRE>; --
; -- Generate a 256 byte sine table with values between 0 and 128
; --
ANGLE SET 0.0
REPT 256
DB (MUL(64.0,SIN(ANGLE))+64.0)>>16
ANGLE SET ANGLE+256.0
ENDR</PRE>
</FONT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
REPT is also very useful in recursive macros and as in macros you can also use the special label operator \@. REPT-blocks can be nested.<BR>
