In article <6988@cbmvax.UUCP> bryce@cbmvax.UUCP (Bryce Nesbitt) writes:

   For a single CPU system, the BSET and BCLR instructions are identical

   TAS is only needed for multiple CPUs.

I wish this would be noted in the RKM's (such as the new 1.3 Includes
& Autodocs RKM) with the restriction not to use TAS, so people will
realize that there IS an alternative...
