You postulated that we have converted some C code and tried to use the resulting assembly code. We did not. Do not make assumptions.

Thank you very much for your kind instruction how to use the assembler. The .fill statements are there for the definition of the SCCB that finds out about the memory size of the machine. An SCCB has a peculiar format, to make it independent of the location the .fill statements do make sense, even if they fill up with zeroes.
