When I was faced with that task, I rapidly got fed up with hand-assembling and relocating my code and went off to write an assembler to run on a computer with somewhat less anaemic IO. I doubt I actually used it more than once or twice, but it was fun to write.

Relocating was fun. Worse was having you delete array routine wiping everything you typed for an hour because you made a boundary check mistake.
