hi Hans,
It's my mistake - it is \ rather than /
And refer to the assambler manual for UNIX v7, the "/<" stands for
"shift left", i.e., <<.
Regards,
Qinglai

In my printed copy it is a \<, not a /<
What does the slash "/" stand for?
/ would start a comment
I guess this line should be
mov $USIZE-1<<8|6, (r1)+
I don't know for sure, but I doubt that the assembler will understand
this C syntax.
This piece of code is commented on page 6-2:
'The value 007406 is obtained by shifting the octal value 017 eight
places to the left and then "or"ing in the value of 6;'
