You can't use them to address data. You can save a GPR in an FPR with the appropriate hardware, but it would lead to most confusing code (IMHO). You can use them for fixed point operations. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
