I know how the byte instructions worked, they were copied to the Lisp Machine. You still don't get a single pointer to part of a machine word.

- gumby 8y agoI don’t know why you would say that if you didn’t program a -6 or a -10. Byte pointers could e e incremental to move though memory just like word pointer, using the IBP instruction (increment byte pointer). If the byte spanned a word it would increment the word address.
