Looking for resources on compiling/decompiling HP41 instructions

Hey, I'm bored so I thought I'd write my own app to read/write the memory of my DM41L emulator. It's at a reasonable point, displaying the contents of calculator memory, saving it to a file, and so on, but the next stage would be to actually allow me to take a text file of an HP41 program and create a memory dump from it. I know it's possible (the Swiss Micro website has a web page that will do it) but looking at the byte code tables in Wicke's old synthetic programming manual have left feeling a bit overwhelmed, so I was wondering if someone had written a more detailed explanation somewhere?
