I sent a copy directly to Justin, but I do not wish to send
a 722 page PDF file to everybody on the mailing list.
If you wish to get a copy by e-mail, please, request for one
in a separate personal e-mail, not on the mailing list.
I guess the document should be available also on the IBM web
site. The title of the document is...


IBM
PowerPC Microprocessor Family:
The Programming Environment Manual for
32 and 64-bit Microprocessors

Version 2.3
March 31, 2005


The detail about sprg0 is on page 75/722 in a table at the
bottom of the page.
