                 EDIT DESCRIPTIONS FOR SORT-10-V4C                              
  
  
                             EDIT 513    FOR SORT
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
SORT does not assemble correctly for KI-10's if built with a  MACRO
that was built for KI-10's.
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
There is code in SORT for both KL's and KI's  which  is  not  under
conditional  assembly  because the check to determine which code to
execute is a runtime check.  This results in the instruction EXTEND
being undefined since KI-10 MACRO does not know about it.
  
[CURE]
  
We are inserting an OPDEF to define the  EXTEND  instruction.   The
edit  defines  the  instruction  in  terms  of  itself.  If SORT is
assembled by KI-10 MACRO, then the EXTEND is defined as zero.  This
is  fine  since the code which contains the EXTEND instruction will
never be executed on a KI.  If SORT is assembled  by  KL-10  MACRO,
then  the  EXTEND  is  defined as the actual instruction since this
flavour of MACRO knows about the instruction.

                             EDIT 514    FOR SORT
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
The code doesn't look right.
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
The code was actually wrong because an index AC was left off of the
SETZB instruction at USRFMT+13 in Edit 511.  However, there were no
symptoms related to this because the appropriate areas were already
zero.   This  instruction  was merely to insure that the areas were
zero.
  
[CURE]
  
Put the index AC on the instruction.  The instruction should become
"SETZB T3,KY.FMT+2(T1)".
