Damn. I sent this privately to Mike because I forgot to change the address. I don't know why some people's email leaves out the list but sorry Mike. For the list:

(See my previous email.) If it does assemble then it will throw an "invalid op code" exception when executed. I would be willing to port the pure assembly stuff, mmx_cmod.S, to SSE for 32 bit if someone would be willing to test it as my dual PII doesn't have SSE. I have received a couple of private emails regarding this as well. That is provided that MeJ won't get annoyed at a fourth implementation that does the same thing. It should be twice as fast as the MMX/32 one though. > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies > from IBM.
