There are tables of instructions in Appendix B of the PrOps manual.  You can
cut and paste into a text file, then open in Excel and do a convert text to
columns.  I last did this in 2002, when there were 428 machine instructions.
I imagine it has escalated considerably since then.
The tables have a "characteristics" column that you can use to determine the
various flavors, if you think your audience will stay awake long enough.

Subject: Instruction Lists/Counts.

  I am doing a high (very high) level presentation for my managers who have
no MF experience. I want a simple slide. Something like:
IBM architecture is not RISC, there are nnn instructions.
nnn Privileged
nnn General
nnn Decimal
nnn Cryptographic
etc.

I've Googled and looked at some of the sites in the Dino ring including
hlasm.com and haven't found it. I don't find a nice set of counts in Pops
either.
Anyone know of such a list(s)
