Re: READE is confusing to me

There is a %Hi and %LO to go with %EQUAL?

Yes and No.  Reade indicators are error and eof.  Setll & lookup 
indicators are Hi Lo Eq.  Chain is error and Not Found.  So the biffs fit 
right in.  But I am missing the %high & %low biffs for setll and found.

IMHO

  I think that the implementation of these BIFs makes them 
inconsistent.  Even though there was considerable thought behind it, I 
think it ended up being misguided.  I think that they s/b consistent for 
ALL I/O opcodes.  This means that all CHAIN's and READx's should have 
%Found and %EOF available.

  Does anyone else find the implementation confusing?
