Doesn't anyone remember the good old IBM 1130? [now THERE was a personal computer!] As I (dimly) recall, loads(stores) of 16-bit "words" proceeded by loading(storing) the high-order byte from(at) the specified address, and then loading(storing) from(at) the address ORed with 1. I found it a marvelous way to save on the storage of 0 & -1... -Ken Sloan
