2. Special Entries
00000   end of card (no data word is associated with this entry)

01111   end of text; the address of the corresponding data word contains the
        relative program entry point.

00010   system reference point; the address of the corresponding data word
        is the system reference number. Such an entry is generated by the
        appearance of a SYS pseudo-op in CRYPT, and is used to define
        reference points in object time subroutines.

00001   location counter control entry; the data word is of the form

        OP   A

        OP =  PZE   A is an absolute origin
           =  PTW   fixed length BSS of length A.
           =  PTH   variable length BSS; the variable field follows
                     as a complex expression. A is the length
                     assumed for assembly.
           =  MON   A is a relative origin.

01110   the corresponding data word is an immediate operator. Such an
        entry occurs only in 2TEXT.

Codes 00011 through 01101 are not assigned.

3. Standard Word

The control group is of the form 1 AB CD, where

AB = 00   constant decrement
   = 01   relative decrement
   = 10   the decrement is a system reference
   = 11   the decrement is represented by a complex expression

CD has the corresponding code values describing the address. The prefix and tag of a standard word are constant.
