Thanks Alex, I was thinking of increased memory space - not exactly doubling - I was thinking it would just be one additional byte per CELL. Ofcourse this additional byte would not have the same lifetime of the CELL so it should not need any extra management.
I feel encouraged - I'll give it a try :) Regards, Kashyap On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 10:11 PM Alexander Burger <a...@software-lab.de> wrote: > Hi Kashyap, > > > About the the CELL having an additional byte, I meant that the CELL size > > would be 2*WORD + 1... that should work too right?
