We've switched almost exclusively to MVCLE except for short,
fixed-length moves.

I have several programs that work with buffers and moving random
length data around using MVCLs. I am considering writing a
'conditional MVCL' macro that, at runtime, looks at the lengths and
either executes the MVCL or bypasses it and uses a MVC via EX.
I know this would generate a longer code segment due to the dual-path.
1) With new machines, I wonder if the micro-code/mili-code already
optimizes the MVCL making this a null-issue?
2) Is anyone else willing to share an existing macro that performs
this function?
