Which of the TS versions were you using, "standard", "extended", or OS/2? Did you try compiling your small project with TC or MSC to compare the results? (i.e. was the executable smaller, faster, etc…) One reviewer comment on TS C's code generated assembler code was: "Topspeed generated code that is as good as a competed assembler programmer would produce". Pretty high praise considering most folks I've talked to believe the term "optimising compiler" to be an oxymoron (you know, like "postal service"…<grin>). Thanks for the reply… Regards, Dean
