The Technical Guide to Assembler Languages
Many Computer Scientists have discovered a definite lack of
computational power in most modern machines. Often one simple command
could eliminate large, bulky routines. A number of fellow scientists
have proposed the following list of "additional" commands that (we
feel) would tremendously expand the scope and power of the typical
computer. These instructions are given with easy-to-remember mnemonics
for quick addition to a macro library or instruction set.
