Phil, The terms originated in the IBM 360 “principles of operation” book which I have here for the model 67. To wit: “instructions operate on units called halfword (2 bytes), fullword(4 bytes), doubleword (8 bytes), quad word (16 bytes). FWIW The IBM ‘storage block’ was 2048 bytes

Ron, Are you unable to FTP from your VAX? If you are able to FTP, which FTP client do you use? What does it do with the APL.V30 file from EISNER.DECUS.ORG ? I.e., what does DIR/FULL APL.V30 say after you download it? Does it matter how you download it? I.e., in
