Indeed, along with an explanation of the sort instructions
understandable by mere mortals. Regardless of which, we owe John a
vote of thanks, both for the book and for getting most of Greg's
Assembler (H) enhancements into the base.

BTW, I have no plans to get the book on a dead tree, so I am not
concerned about a substantial increase in size. However, the sorts of
thing that I and others would like to see entail a substantial amount
of work, and we should be grat3ful for whatever time he is willing and
able to put into it.

John,

I cannot but replicate the many thanks and compliments expressed by 
others on both IBM-Main and the Assembler-list.
Now I surely won't need to get a book from the library for my vacation. 
This'll be much more fun!


Finding Z13 in the title I had hoped to find some info on the new 
instructions.

I am especially interested in the vector architecture and instructions.

To explain the vector architecture well, embellished with examples, 
exercises and solutions,

you might end up with a volume that satisfies Lizette's desires?

Kind regards
Abe Kornelis

I appreciate the many kind comments posted on these discussion lists.

Please note that some fixes will be in the next update:
(1) The fragmentary index after the preface/introduction will be removed.
(2) The solutions for sections 25 and 26 will be restored.
(3) Various typographic errors will be fixed.
(4) Some minor text reorganizations.

Rather than adding change bars, I plan to add an "Updates" section
somewhere at the front or back of the text explaining differences from
version to version.

After those are finished:
(n) I'm currently preparing some "lecturer materials" like presentation
slides.
(n+1) A major item will be to add hyperlinks for contents and
cross-references.
(n+2) I apologize, Lizette, but I doubt I'll add another 1200 pages any
time soon.

​poor phrasing on my part. an editor and processor _for_ LaTeX or DocBook.
Yes, I know that they are textual, so any text editor will work. I was
thinking of TexMaker et al. which "understands" TeX like a C language
editor understands the C language. ​

I appreciate the many kind comments posted on these discussion lists.

Please note that some fixes will be in the next update:
(1) The fragmentary index after the preface/introduction will be removed.
(2) The solutions for sections 25 and 26 will be restored.
(3) Various typographic errors will be fixed.
(4) Some minor text reorganizations.

The incomplete index at the start is apparently something left over from
editing. The full index starts at page 1253.

​I would be interested. But that would require two things: (1) release
(under NDA or something) of the "source" to the book so that it can be
edited and (2) that I have access to the proper software to do the editing.
This latter basically would require that I have the proper "editor" package
such as LyX, LaTex, DocBook, or ? . Saints forfend that this is in MS
Word format, although I could use LibreOffice.​ But I fear this last is
true because the PDF appears to have been rendered using Acrobat Distiller
on Windows. But it might have been written in a _good_ DTP such as Adobe
Framemaker. Unfortunately, in that case I couldn't help because I don't
have Framemaker.

I see the same at PDF pages 47 and 48, document page numbers 11 and 12.

We also need to get John some help in creating a PDF Table of Contents (as well 
as a complete Index) with hyperlinked page numbers so you can go directly to 
the document page from the TOC (or from the Index).  That would be extremely 
useful in such a large document.

I don't know how to do that myself, but I'm sure the expertise is out here 
somewhere.  Volunteers?

I just downloaded the book and glanced through a bit of it.  Does anybody else

Just wondering if it is a glitch in my download (I tried it twice) or if it is
