Ash I was just thinking about binary what little I know,, if my memory is right all computation is based off addition and either a core (magnetic) was on or off and to subtract a number you simply revered the polarity and then added.. very slick trick if you ask me but it works in binary and you are right. assembler it just provided easier names for formatting binary instruction.. If your wrote todays programs in assembler, (would require huge volumes of coding probably a library worth) on todays fast computers they make todays programs look like they were running on computers of twenty years ago.. A real pain in the neck a real hair pulling experience. Thanks for the memories Allan
