Arrgh. Correction to the below. Not enough caffeine, yet it's late in
the morning...
Tom Marchant correctly mention that SRST/CLST came in with ESA, not late
System/370, as a look at my SEARS card just confirmed. However, the
point still applies - SRST/CLST have been around for almost 25 years and
I doubt anyone is still running ES 9000 boxes.

Rob,
have you tried SRST?
I had a hard time getting used to SRSTs way of using/wanting the
resgisters- but then... It does an excellent job on searching for one
(and only one) character in a string.
Martin,
Haven't, and probably should for my own education. We restrict our
products to older architecture levels for a number of good reasons.
Ya-but...
SRST came in sometime during the late System/370 era. I have a yellow
book with SRST and CLST defined.
(I've been burned only once by a non-System/370 instruction (ICM), and
that was on a plug-compatible that a Brazilian customer was running in
the early 1990s. I have burned myself on using the wrong ARCH option in
a C compile when a customer was still running a z900 (ARCH(5)) and I had
accidentally left it set to ARCH(6).
Later,
Ray
