So, yes it does vary. I guess I was rolling the dice a little.
My memory is telling me, that while the arithmetics on the 6000 series might have been done with 48 bits, the memory assignment was in words. One integer took one word of 60 bits (i.e. 5 bytes of 12 bits each). George -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> George M.
