      From: joemonk64@gmail.com              "I wish to run 32 bit s390 programs,        unmodified, at the 4 GB location."              Not possible. First off there is no such thing as a 32-bit s390 program. The       instructions BXLE and BXH on the s390 perform signed arithmetic to accomplish       their purpose.               This precludes 32-bit on the s390.              "The word "index" in the names of these instructions indicates that one of       the major purposes is the incrementing and testing of an index value. The       increment being a signed binary integer, may be used to increase or decrease       the value in general        register R1 by an arbitrary amount."              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
