Just out of interest, what difference does the pentium optimised bcopy make on AMD K5 / Cyrix 6x86 CPUs where the FPU is somewhat slower than the equivalent Intel part? Is it still a win? Hmmm, are these things actually probed as Pentiums anyway? Cheers, Simon -- Simon Marlow simonm@dcs.gla.ac.uk Research Assistant http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~simonm/ finger for PGP public key
