* I did a little more work on yetanother 16-bit processor, and started a fourth one. The new one goes back to the alternating accumulators, but with improved byte-data handling. There are computational byte instructions as well as word instructions. With load byte instructions, only the lower byte of the register is loaded; zero and sign extension require separate instructions. There probably won't be any memory modification opcodes. It's supposed to be easy code for a compiler to generate, but I'll still have to put in string-handling instructions, I think.
* There's not much else to say.
