Yes – I was surprised at the manx code as well. In general, it appears that lattice does better at this sort of optimization, as well as handling temporary values, stuff like that. Supposedly – the new update is supposed to improve a lot of this sort of stuff, as well as allow the use of A6 as the stack frame pointer. (I got on my knees and pleaded for that one, but now maybe we don't need it? Oh well…) Well, I finally did manage to get the whole tape over to a format the CV system can cope with. I think any tape format would have been difficult. CV even uses it's own version of ASCII, which was also a bit of a pain. But it's done. Now, I still need that magic formula to get it on the Amiga. (Wouldn't mind it on a CV – but guess what, no C compiler. Argh!) So save your tapes – there's nothing you can do that would make it easier – CV has taken care of that. Got Icon up on the Wicat yet? sdb
