I suppose we'll discuss it in the CrossPoint/FreeXP developer
newsgroup next time.
BTW one of our tools works faster (6 sec faster to test 11 MB news on
an i486DX2-66 here) with your Turbo.tpl, another tool slows down but
not significant. The complete source of the last one can be found at:
ftp://ftp.freexp.de/freexp/snapshot/euuz_src.zip
(It's a long used and and now far enhanced converting tool
for mail/news RFC<->ZConnect, a sort of a gate software with a
lot of parsing and string operations. There's all the source to
get it compiled and it's stable. It's not fully integrated in our
CVS but this will happen as soon as possible.)
For other actual source of CrossPoint/FreeXP or our developer
newsgroup look for informations at
 http://freexp.co.uk  or  http://www.bitzbox.plus.com .

Thank you, I'll visite that newsgroup.

I'm always looking for possibilities to optimize my/our code and try
to get a deeper understanding of my tools and testing of all parts of
the software.
OTH what you'll probably win here you can easily loose with some CPUs
today but I'll reflect your works and ideas. If you want to test me
something or give you informations feel free to ask me or post it
to the Crosspoint/FreeXP developer newsgroup.
