Do you use the SCRT or the token-table threaded approach in the design notes? (hey folks, 16 16-bit registers in 1976 or so is nothing to sneeze at. If only iNTEL had deigned to notice it!) IMHO, if you can't appreciate the 1802 you're not a Real Programmer. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180. 'U` peter@ferranti.com
