No problem , I leave the obsoleted c++ bit for someone else who knows c++ , 
its been there for 8 years , it can wait :) . I'll put a note in the manual 
about which functions are being obsoleted , and in 10 years time we can 
delete them , set those alarm clocks now ;)

Now I've got those easy changes done ,  a slightly more controversial change!
I'm tempted to remove some of the assembler code for the untested and old 
architectures. This is NOT removing support for this architecture , but 
changing it from something where we don't know if it works or still works , 
to plain C , where surely it must work. If we ever get access to these old 
systems again , we can then test the assembler code  and reinstate it.
