Speed of HP-49G Routine for Tektronix Vector Graphics Terminal

[Paul Dale]

Were the binary integers done with shifts and ANDs? I'm not surprised that they are slower than expected, they are variable length which is painful (but not as bad as the 16C's integer support that has carry and overflow as well).

System RPL would be a lot faster, the big win being the 20 bit short integers and much reduced overhead.
