SPECIFICATION OF JERRY L. KINDELL for COMPUTER APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Computer apparatus implementing a single computer instruction for moving a binary number of from one to four characters, with the characters of a given binary number having either eight or nine bits per character, from storage in memory to a register. The characters of the binary number are stored in a word addressable memory with each word of memory being divided into four 9-bit bytes. The most significant character of the binary number can be stored in any designated byte position of a word location with the characters of the number stored in contiguous byte locations in descending order of significance. The apparatus causes the binary number to be stored in a designated addressable register with the binary number being right justified in that register. Higher order bit positions of the register not needed to store the bits of the binary number will have stored into them fill bits or the sign bit of the number. 5202755
