	A reasonable approach to producing CISC machines ... to have the 
	instruction set be changeable for different languages.  

	(These are not new ideas, of course; a lot of research is currently 
	going on in these areas, but is not as well-known as the RISC research,
	 apparently.)

It is good to hear that someone has not forgotten one or Burroughs few good ideas.  Who is working on flexible instruction set computers now-a-days?
