From: quadibloc@invalid.invalid   
      
   Two additional changes, in the category of tweaks and corrections, have   
   been made.   
      
   Now, I've finally squeezed back in to the main instruction set without   
   headers a Supplemental Load/Store instruction, to allow loads and stores   
   of exotic data types like Simple Floating, Compatible Floating Point,   
   Register Packed Decimal, and so on. There was opcode space to give the two-   
   register operate instructions the ability to calculate on such   
   quantities... now, by imposing severe limitations on the load/store   
   instructions, I have the ability to also load and store data of these   
   types without needing a block header.   
      
   Also, as the appropriate portion of opcode space was completely unused   
   otherwise, I gave the 16-bit immediate instructions to the standard   
   Augmented Short Instruction format.
