I put it together, though but I don't understand most of them. Most seem different from the Fantasm demo and the docs I've found don't list most of them. I was playing with some Fantasm demo code and it included this line: li r4,20 The FB3 compiler didn't like the opcode. It's not on the list either. I looked through the opcode list in the guide Ed mentioned but it isn't listed there. Oh wait, I found it. It's a simplified opcode: Simplified mnemonics: li rD,value equivalent to addi rD,0,value It's in Appendix 5: <http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/852569B20050FF778525699600719DF2/$file/6xx_pem.pdf>. lists them all. The first manual I found was <http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/teksupport/teklibrary/manuals/PRG.pdf> But it's only 1/10th the size of the one Ed mentioned. They really are hard to find. If I find the time, I'll make a small reference guide that lists the FB3 opcodes and the simplified versions. Maybe I'll make it into an eDoc file so it'll work in the help folder. It looks like FB3's assembler understands some of the simplified instructions but not all. >"I just Babylon at times.
