Interesting, but wrong. 512 elements in a vector. (The vector length field in an instruction is 12 bits though.) Further: NEC SX (not IBM compatible) 128 or 256, depending on model, with vector registers, like the Cray. This is the fastest supercomputer in the world. -- dik t. winter, cwi, amsterdam, nederland INTERNET : dik@cwi.nl BITNET/EARN: dik@mcvax
