Daniel, You're right, of course. Unfortunately, it is not possible to take that approach in C directly. However, using the appropriate CBM "math….library" is almost the same, as it is doing the same thing you're doing (and is written in assembler). I haven't done any benchmarks personally – I _never_ use FP code myself. With very few exceptions, FP isn't really needed for most applications, and is significantly slower than equivalent integer-based algorithms. …BobR
