I wasn't aware of your preference for upward growing stacks and while HLL
langdo eliminate the need to 'understand the machine' they don't eliminate
the need for efficient implementation of HLL's, which on the 68xxx means
downwards growning stacks.
I agree that func(a, b, c) eval order is a problem, I also think it should
have been specified to be from left to right, but I still don't see how
this is related to upward/downward stacks. Sorry for not being clearer
about this. sdb
