Jim,
Thanks. 371D is pefixed machine code. Is the prefixed machine
code at 3685 commented in your listing?

What's it do? > (PS, looks like 3685 is there c/o Rick, again.) I will let Conrad describe what it does - he brought the topic up and he's much better at describing things than I am, anyway. But. There are several useful ML routines used by that PMC. Instead, I will describe their interfaces. 381c - Examine list of short (aka system binary). In: A.A - Address of list type prefix (aka prolog) Out: D.A - # of elements Trashes: C.A, A.A, D0 3878 - Get next short. Picks next short from @D0. Works with both direct and indirect objects. In: D0 - Address of short - 5 Out: D0 - Address of next short - 5 C.A - Short Trashes: A.A 387b - Same as 3878, but D0 starts by pointing to the first element. In: D0 - Address of short Out: D0 - Address of next short - 5 C.A - Short Trashes: A.A 3991 - Short multiplication. In: A.A - n C.A - m Out: B.A - n*m (unsigned) 3968 - Get number of elements in n-dimensional array. In: D1 - Address of Array type prefix Out: A.A - Size, in elements Trashes: D1, D.A, C.A, B.A, RSTK(1) -- Jan Brittenson bson@ai.mit.edu
