I'd suggest that you switch to another assembler (such as OPTASM or Borland's TASM). Masm (from what I have heard second hand) isn't even written in 80x86 assembly language. It's written in 'C'. Both OPTASM (by SLR Systems) and TASM (v2.0) are at least two or three times as fast as MASM, produce better code, and have more useful features. Good luck, John D. Mitchell johnm@cory.Berkeley.EDU
