.IF DF L$$SI1 MOVB @(R5)+,-(SP) ;;; COPY CHARACTER FOR WORD MOVE MOV (SP)+,(R4) ;;; (SAVES 85 USECS ON PDT-11) .IFF ; DF L$$SI1 MOVB @(R5)+,(R4) ;;; OUTPUT A CHARACTER .ENDC ; DF L$$SI1 OK, I'll bite. Why is moving a character in the deferred location in R5 to the stack and then, from the stack to the address in R4 faster than just going from the deferred R5 location to the R4 address? -- I'm even more curious what a PDT-11 optimization is doing in an RSX driver...was there at one time an RSX product product planned for the PDT family? -- Lee K.
