It had to be said..... I worked on the Burroughs B1700 which has a 1bit word; it was bit addressable and as a soft machine the programmer could select whatever virtual word length they liked. I remember the other LISP team changing from 22 to 23 bits one day. There was an advantage to 24 bit virtual words, but at its heart it was a 1bit machine. ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
