The best way to go is : - establish the largest linear chunk you can move. - call bcopy to move it. - repeat until done. > I'm curious to hear comments, and see if anyone has any truely cool ideas. Leave worrying about alignment etc. to the primitives; the moment you leave the original platform everything is going to change anyway. > -Brian -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
