Even when I'm writing C, I'm thinking about what the compiler is going to do with my code. This is a reasonable effort on a reasonable machine, but not on any kind of 8086, regardless of how fast it goes. A computer is a tool used by a mind, not a substitute for a mind. CPUs need to be designed for this kind of interaction. Steve abell@netcom.com
