One's complement is virtually dead and gone. Bit variable word sizes likewise. Most of the bit operations aren't that difficult to do without -- shifts certainly, rotates less so. The integer real conversions on mode changes seems more trouble than it is worth -- the 34S ditched these years ago due to users' confusion.

That's kind of a harsh review of the 16C features; I wonder if this is from a software-oriented person perspective or from a hardware-oriented one? To me the emulator was a superb project with an outstanding result; but I guess not having users that can get confused gives you a lot of liberty.

The emulator goes beyond the original in a few areas that - even if not so useful - were a crack to get done.
