Where should the type information be 127

one.

I'm now dropping it down to 98% after reading your explanation. :-))

Although the PDP-10 had registers, the PUSHing and POPing instructions dealt with stacks. It is how we preverved info across call boundaries.

the level

The way we got to the stacks were through registers.

You are good enough for me to understand a bit :-).

B, to

You're talking about how my HP-35 does its arithmetic...isn't that called reverse polish or something? This is a similar technique we used when programming the PDP-10, except we could add contents of memory to contents of memory without using a register.

That's how we did code.

will

Sure. The way PDP-10ish way I was thinking was that there was a limit to the length of a stack. If your array is a million elements, you potentially need a stack that is also an addition million plus a fudge factor depeneding on the matrix operation you are going to do. An inverse can do exchange; but you are going to do a transformation, then the inverse, things can get a tad dicey...couldn't they?

hardware based required set". See above. I sure am glad that hardware is a "guy thing"; this is hard stuff. :-))

BAH
