Actually, I did work w/ NOSC Pascal on UNIVAC-1100 systems (I even
doctored the compiler to speed up the code for reading/writing
quarter-work (9bit) objects (used for packed array of char) since:
DI,U A2,2
took more CPU cycles than:
DSL A2,2
SSL A3.34
which made things a lot quicker when grinding through message log
tapes to look for specific message(s). from member firms.
The UNIVAC 1100 was (is? are there any still out there?) a word
oriented machine, 36bit, one's complement (which necessitated, in
earlier forms, an "ENZ" instruction to "Eliminate Negative Zeroes").
The only read "byte code" interpreter I worked with handled
Thoroughbred's Business BASIC but that was specific to that
environment.
