John, I have been involved in assembler since 1970...although not extensively. It has only been a few years that it is the only language I use.
Can you tell me why the POP dos not follow a sequential format such as R1,R2,D3(R3) instead of R1,R3,D2(R2). At least then there would have been no confusion on my part. I also don't know why everybody is making such a big deal about my having been confused about a small point regarding the POP. I now understand that I have to read the POP from an assembler programmer point of view rather than an English major's point of view.

I tried to make it clear, politely, that conventions of this sort are arbitrary. Your response was full of provincial moralism This usage is an old one that you would already be familiar with if you were at all experienced. Get used to it or take up another language, RPG say. It will not be changed at your behest. John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
