I've just finished reading about the AM29000
processor.  Naturally, I have lots of questions,
but here's one I'd appreciate a rapid answer to:

  The machine has comparison instructions that
  yield a Boolean result in a register.  The
  processor description says that TRUE is
  represented by a 1 in the MOST significant
  bit.  Is this a typo?

Thanks in advance
