Give me a BREAK….. I'm talking about intructions whose time (and cycles) depend on the data (like multiplies and divides)….and on machines with different speed memories on them. Regarding the program idea, I've written them myself on two computer families already, since the documentation on the machines is NEVER accurate, and every change to the machine (well almost every one) will change the timing somewhere (or the number of clock cycles, or whatever). I have not yet spent the effort on the Amiga as I don't yet have any 'time critical' routines. The idea about jumping in an out is interesting, but I think you will find that the Amiga clock is not well suited for this task.
