RE: Do Forever Loop

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, "halt" and "catch" both sound like verbs to me, so I thought it was an
instruction, not an error code.  Maybe 15 years on /38 and /400 have caused
me to attribute too much logic to such things. ;)

BTW, on the SETKBDVLT, I believe you left out *FRY and *CREMATE.

I thought HACF was an error message like FSTF (first smoke, then fire), 
not an opcode.  Opcodes would include things like SETKBDVLT,  *OFF, *ON, 
*STUN,  *TNGL, and *NEUTER

Barbara,

So why wasn't an HACF op-code in the survey?  I wouldn't think it would 
cost
too many development bucks... ;)

Personally, I'd be more interested in a ZAPUSER op.

Cindy, if you use LEAVE, you still need a way to decide whether to
LEAVE or not, like SHTDN which tells you whether the subsystem is
doing a controlled shutdown.

First time I saw "SHTDN", I assumed it was something like the
370 assembler instruction HACF (Halt And Catch Fire).  I was
rather disappointed to find out it was just a "checking" opcode.
