The "big C" probelm exists on the 8086 too. Granted, it doesn't have as many regs as the 68K, but still, I wish our 8086 C compiler would at least remember what's in the %ax (accumulator). Our compiler doesn't permit "register"declarations, so every reference to a variable (like repeated tests for equality to various constant values) causes the %ax to be reloaded from RAM, usually via the stack frame. I wish there were some way to dodge this and other time & space wasters. mike knudsen ihnss!knudsen
