Dean, I understand your point, but you have come from a STRONG assembler background. I started with ASM, but that was 10 years ago. The processors I wrote entire assembler programs for were 8080's, Z80's, etc. I switch to C about 8 years ago, and have only touched assembler on a few occations on 68000's, 80286's, etc. What may be easy or second nature to you, may not be so easy to a large number of C programmers. I still find it a bear to set up a separate assembler module on a PeeCee, especially if I haven't done so recently. I really have a great deal of respect for programmers who speak assembler as well as english <grin>, but I'm no longer one of them. Just a different perspective I guess. Marcus
