>> 2. Has anybody had any luck converting a keyscript to IPAS. I am
beginning to slowly convert my spray keyscript to make it faster but it is a
real pain so far. Also how much execution spped difference is there between a
similiar IPAS and keyscript rouines. I some the IPAS routine would be quite a
bit faster but by how much? <<
The ease of conversion will naturally be influenced by your familiarity with
first, C, and second, IPAS. Most of the important functions in Keyscript (and
TSE) have similar or identical functions in IPAS. IPAS also has similar, though
more demanding data structures to the scripting languages. The implication is
that with allowances for syntax and the more elaborate construction of a C
program, an algorithm from Keyscript or TSE should port pretty directly.
