Just out of curiousity, what *ARE* you 320xx and 68k fans using for the PDP-11
instruction     MOV (SP)+,@(R5)+    eh?  (It's useful for initializing tables
or mapped video windows from stack images.)
I only need one or two examples, please, so read all your micro mail before
replying to this.  If you see a correct answer, and you think yours is better,
please send me mail; In a subsequent posting, I'll summarize whatever I get.
Thanks.
