Re: LINK and high order word of R1

If someone is curious why: -- low halves 2-13 are expected to be preserved, but -- high halves 2-14 are expected to preserved it relates to a call sequence that involves an old module that has no idea that high halves even exist, one case where that old module is entered via BASSM and returns

I've seen word sizes of 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 60 and 64 bits, words size of 10 decimal digits[2] and character size of 6 bits, and that leaves out the really old stuff.
