Have read in several places,
that the condition code NV
is *NOT* forward compatible.

Specifically that Acorn have
reserved the right to reuse
it for something else, at
some future stage!

To the best of my knowledge
it is still ok with ARM3.

****could someone at Acorn
confirm this, also could
they suggest what it might 
be earmarked for?
