Rick: OK will do. I disagree with the "none of the higher level languages support it". I have found several mentions of FORTRAN. However I was not looking for usage techniques just some general information. I haven't looked at all of the rich URL's given out by Lyn yet will get around to them tomarrow. As usual they are a rich treasure trove of information. I did find some interesting HLL examples (general ones). Which was fine I am not into details on the thing. Consider it dropped. Ed

None of the HLL's support the Vector Processor so you're stuck using Assembler Language if you want to use it. And setting up the mechanisms for true vector processing is a non-trivial exercise. :-( BTDTGTSS NEVER AGAIN!!!
