Copy protection: BEGIN%

[Acorn Electron version, Loader]

Name: BEGIN% [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Copy protection Summary: Single-byte decryption and copying routine, run on the stack
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file

This code is not run in the unprotected version of the loader. In the full version it is stored with the instructions reversed so it can be copied onto the stack to be run, and it doesn't contain any NOPs, so this is presumably a remnant of the cracking process.
