Flynn's work with the Architect's Workbench is relevant, and
while I don't find this specific comparison mentioned in the
Sept. 1987 IEEE Computer article (Flynn, Mitchell and Mulder,
"And now a case for more complex instruction sets"), it would
seem easy to do with awb.  You could compare FIX32 with your
own definition of a two-address instruction format.  Main
problem would be in how to handle offsets and immediate values.
