I believe that the PoOP should or could stay like it is, because the normal use is not as a tutorial for learning ASSEMBLER or machine architecture, but to make clear some difficulties or peculiarities of seldom used instructions, at least in my case.
The printed manual is getting to be unwieldy. I could see having it split into two, or possibly three, volumes: the basic hardware design and features, the privileged instructions, and the unprivileged (and semi-privileged) one, with Appendix A split (and expanded) accordingly. The digital version is just fine, except for the skimpy Appendix A. The major nit I have to pick is with the operand description. After more than forty years of use, I still manage to mistake R1 for GPR1, etc., and have to make a conscious effort to read it correctly. Gerhard Postpischil Bradford, VT
