Still setting a 386 as minimum will speed it up since more CPU registers
are available (and larger - effectivly trippling the ammount of base
registers, I don't however think BC can use these effectvly so there will
only be twice as many).
So, if Arachne is going to be a 386 and up program then I suggest that as a
(very small) start it's atleast compiled using 386 code using the current
code and compiler.
Anyway, a site that has some links to ASM programmers and contests is:
