Though George's code is beyond me, I've skimmed through parts of it where his comments indicate that he's using the integer unit to get something done while the FPU is busy. There probably isn't room to squeeze in a separate line of computation. >I'll be willing to send my p7334417 and worktodo.ini to anyone who's >interested. Yes, you can have credit for the 45% completion. Email This could raise issues with accuracy of transmisison. And you'd better make sure that Primenet is capable of transferring the assignment properly. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
