And wouldn't it be great if it was called z390 and available on a website
called www.z390.org and if just a few Java programmers could be bothered to
spend a few hours achieving just that as Don, Melvyn, Abe and several others
tried to do over the past years...doh.
And while I'm on the subject, does anyone remember that a few months ago I
wanted the PoOPS ripped apart and reconstructed so that every single
instruction had a page to itself with links ?
My suggestion got trashed...I still can't believe that the guys and gals
here have so little imagination.
53 years of assembler coding and still no-one listens to me.
And just to annoy people even more, enhancing the IBM360 architecture is
like redesigning the T-Rex...it's already extinct guys...time to move on.

But wouldn't be great if the PoO could just be fed into a software
emulator creator (in machine-readable format, of course) and out would
come a software emulator. And the another process could create all the
chips and microcode. That way the PoO would always exactly match the
processor.

All,
In the new PoO, on page 24-26, Programming Note for VFLL instruction,
there is what seems to be another copy-paste error. I quote:
* Programming Note*: If a trapping IEEE exception is
encountered during execution of VECTOR LOAD
LENGTHENED it is model dependent if the VIX in
the VXC field is the index of the source or target element
unless the IBM z/Architecture Principles of
Operation is installed in which case it is always the
index of the source element.
Beats me how the PoO could be installed in the processor,
but maybe I'm taking things too literally?
Can it be it should have referred to the vector-enhancement
facility 1 ?
Kind regards,
Abe Kornelis
