I mean, I know a handful of instructions were stapled onto the side occasionally throughout the years, and x86_64 made things a BIT more sane...brought it squarely into the late 1980s...but it's still pretty ungainly. I was referring to something like: original 8086 ASM compared with late-model pentium III ASM. ;) Ahhh. In that case, not a whole lot of difference for app-level stuff. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
