Same here- but then I rarely use more than the regular 32 bits (remember: VSE just learned in 4.2 to not clear the high half at dispatch time). And hence there is no need for TYPECHECK Oups- looking at the illustration: to not flag line 19 at all, is an error. >> What am I missing here? Is this as disappointing to others as it is >> to me?

I hope that it was not done on purpose and the code will be amended such that not only the original two (STMH and LMH) (was there any etc?) but all the new instructions are handled proper. >> Has the time come to implement the long sought after "32-bit high >> half" type?
