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
