I'm worried that the number could go down to zero some day. I do see the benefits with the assembly code and personally find then justifiable enough to try and learn. (side note: I've just started compiling the ia64 code on VMS. It currently bombs for reasons I haven't fathomed yet, but am thinking it's a pointer size thing... It's about the quirkiest assembly I've seen, but I'm hell bent to get through it) Cheers Richard > > >_______________________________________________ >openssl-project mailing list >[email protected] >https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-project -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
