Description: The object code loops through the 17 rows of the shape and
the 17 columns of each row.  At each position it adds two values from a
17-byte table, indexed by the row and column number, and prints a space
via OSWRCH (&FFEE) if the result carries out, an asterisk otherwise.  At
the end of each row OSNEWL (&FFE7) is called to effect a newline; after
the 17th row, the program returns to the caller.

Comments:
Trailing spaces are printed on each line.
The table values allow the carry flag to be undefined before the ADC.
