#154462 - What would be the point?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As Russ has already pointed out, they all require the yse of Assembler.

So, to implement any of them, you would first have to choose the correct assembler for the particular processor.

But, if you know which assembler to choose, then you must already know which processot it is, mustn't you?
And, if you already know which processot it is, you must also know its word size!

So it's all a bit pointless!
