I'm trying to learn about SPARC assembly language, and the reference
manual which comes with SunOS 4.x just doesn't do it.  That manual assumes
you know what instructions do and why they do that.  There are some rather
peculiar instructions (to me anyway) that I can only conjecture about why
they are there.  I'd really like some manual which discusses the
instruction set in detail.  Does such a thing exist?
