[comp.os.vms] The VAX instruction set help file

NED@YMIR.BITNET (Ned Freed) (08/06/87)

After receiving over 100 requests for this sucker and no end in sight, I
have decided to bust it up into pieces and post it to this list. So, here
it comes. Simply snip out the contents of each of the 4 pieces, append them
together, and run the resulting file through RUNOFF (the comments at the
top of the file explain all this in more detail).

All the usual disclaimers apply. I cannot take any responsibility for any
of the information's accuracy, especially the instruction timing figures.

If anyone out in netland has a source of timing information for any of the
8xxx series CPUs I would be delighted to add it to the file.

I typed all this in while writing a compiler a few years back (yes I am
a fast typist) and I hope it turns out to be as handy to others as it still
is for me.

I also have a similar help file for RUNOFF that provides complete online
documentation for all RUNOFF commands (not just the qualifiers but the
dot commands). Let me know if anyone is interested in this one too.
