What is the number of words in the BC Control/Status block?
A. The value of the pointer parameter in the BC instruction list (e.g., for the Execute Message instruction) must be modulo 8. That is, the three LSBs of this word must always be “000”. The length of the Control/Status block should be: 8 words – for messages that are not RT-to-RT transfers and are not referenced by an XQF (Execute and Flip) instruction, or 16 words – for messages that are either RT-to-RT transfers and/or are referenced by an XQF (execute and flip) instruction.
