If the former, then I may be interested in spending some years reading up on compiler/optimisation technology. I'm not too charmed with MD code; the more that could be done by the compiler, the more I like it. :-) </thinking aloud> M -- Mark Murray iumop ap!sdn w,I idlaH To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
