Hi DSP hackers-

Thanks to mlelstv@specklec.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de for pointing out that my posting
was rather nonsense.  What happened was that I grabbed the wrong file and
posted that instead of the correct (working and compilable) version of the
arccos macro.  Here is the correct version for those who are interested.

=======================================================================
;   arccos.asm
;   Calculates the arc-cosine of the input to 8 bits.
;   The output is between 0 and +127 and is in a
