SITS system calls were done using EMT in older versions, and TRAP in newer. The system call number makes up the lower 7 bits. Bit 200 can be set to have the call fault on error, in which case a $ replaces the . in the symbolic name.
System call inputs are popped off the stack, and outputs are pushed. On error, the Z flag is set and arguments are left on the stack. In the table below, (C) indicates a capability.
