CMP R1,#0 ; Compare R1 with zero and branch to fred
if R1 was zero, otherwise continue.
BEQ fred ; Continue to next instruction.
BL sub+ROM ; Call subroutine at computed address.

on the result then call subroutine if
BLCC sub ; the C flag is clear, which will be the
case unless R1 held 0xFFFFFFFF.
