I have all the operations implemented, but the codex seems to contain 
invalid instructions to begin with and then ti tries to load an 
unallocated array and dies.  I'm clearly not understanding something 
about how the UM is supposed to work.  Regardless of the byte ordering 
it doesn't work.

Want to join the same team? :)
