In my test program, I replaced the Z-ADD SevenTwo FiveOh with your suggestion
above.  I left the Z-ADD SevenTwo TwoTwo alone since that creates a machine
check.

The run time for 100,000 iterations remained the same: 80 seconds for Z-ADD/EVAL
and 3 seconds for MOVE/MOVEL.

Again, this is on a CISC model 200.  Simon's results on a RISC box (170) was 1
second for Z-ADD and 3 seconds for MOVE/MOVEL for 1,000,000 iterations.
