Ok,
It's coming along nicely... it will probably be done tomorrow.
There are some little quircks... but I guess corewars programmers are used
to that...
7999 = -1
And it screws the mod 8000 or mod 19 or whatever... for all the opcodes...
so that needs getting used to... but that should do...
It's cool... this is gonna be a powerfull extension me thinks ! ;) :)

I shall add these modifiers, if successfull, then you can play with them.
I shall build executable for Windows.
If you one linux then you can receive sources but then you have to build it
yourself.
Following modifiers will be added:
.c
.m
.ma
.mb

Ok,
So let's do that:
Time to examine all instructions:
// these numbers from my own core executor not necessarily match with
pmars...
// but for sake of discussion this will do for now:
I_DAT = 0,
I_MOV = 1,
I_ADD = 2,
I_SUB = 3,
I_MUL = 4,
I_DIV = 5,
I_MOD = 6,
I_JMP = 7,
I_JMZ = 8,

Ok,
I shall work out the other instructions as well for full specification for
"pmars 2009 extension" ;)
1. Mutate Code (MTC) is done.
To be done:
2. Mutate Modifier (MTM)
3. Mutate Addressing (MTA)
4. Reset Code List (RCL)
5. Reset Modifier List (RCM)
6. Reset Addressing List (RAL)
I am not so sure about 4,5 and 6... what would be benefit of such lists ?!?

I think the idea needs to be worked out a little bit more and be more
writing like a specification.
I will give it a try and then maybe you can overlook it, see if I missed
anything or if you want anything changed.
So here goes, first of all I want the following "features/capabilities" of
such a change to pmars to be as powerfull as it can be:

I'm looking to modify pmars to add the MTS, MTD, LST, and RST opcodes
I suggested a few months back, as well as the instruction permutation
list that these opcodes would use. The problem is that I'm not
familiar with C, nor with the source code of pMars. I think I
understand the general drift of the source code well enough that I
