DEC PDP-10: Rewrite to try to have it explain what "LUT2" refers to. Put the BCD conversion instructions into a separate paragraph, and fix a typo.
DEC PDP-10: Note that those instructions are *byte* oad/store instructions. Not sure what the "[2]" is - a reference? - so change to attach the reference for the byte manipulation instructions to the third sentence, so it applies to all three.
Line 69:
Later models of the PDP-10 had instructions to convert between [[Binary-coded decimal#Packed BCD|packed BCD]] and binary.{{sfn|pdp10|pages=2.99|}}
 
Also present is unusual (variable-bit-length) byte load and store instructions. Both the bit length (S) and the offset (P) could be specified.{{sfn|pdp10|pages=2.85-2.89|loc=Byte manipulation|}} The Byte ManipulationThese instructions[2] can specify a byte size of 0-36, but may not straddle word boundaries.{{sfn|pdp10|pages=2.85-2.89|loc=Byte manipulation|}} The String Manipulations have a similar restriction.{{sfn|pdp10|pages=2.91|loc=2.12 String manipulation|}}
