Another problem is that some of the string instructions on the
uVax-II are ``minicoded'': the arguments are put in the appropriate
registers, then the CPU traps somewhere to let an assembly code
routine handle the work. Examples are scanc and matchc, but, I
have been told, *not* movc3.
I have also been told that the code which implements these instructions
is nontrivial. It is not on the 4.3 alpha tapes, and I doubt that
it will be included in the 4.3 distribution.
