I mad thought to add to the bit stripping problem (nee, opportunity). The subject of machine dependence arose - a solution?: Put each possible machine interpretation in a case statement in a procedure in a module. Then use the initialization section of the module to test which of the possible cases are present for this execution and set the proper case selector (of course, a static variable inside the module). Overhead? The initialization is executed only once, so basically just the overhead of the case - order the case in order of likelihood and might be small. A clever idea what? Have the initialization test for machine dependence
