   Ok, but that requires the programmer to change the   
   way they program, because the code they would   
   naturally write exceeds 64k of machine code.   
      
   My question is - is the 8086 the only processor that   
   still has 16-bit registers, but allows the naturally-written   
   program with more than 64k of machine code, to   
   be built by a compiler?   
      
   Or is there some other technique that would work on   
   the Commodore 128 or some other machine that   
   allowed more than 64k of memory with only 16-bit   
   or 8-bit registers?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
