"OISC: You've heard of RISC, Reduced Instruction Set Computers? Well,
here is the concept taken to its logical extreme -- an emulator for a
computer with just one (1) instruction (Subtract and Branch if
Negative)! Sample programs in the OISC machine language are included.
We now have available have a revised and expanded version of oisc called
OIC. In the future, this may replace OISC."
