This, of course, depends on the target architecture. See for example <http://www.microchip.com/forums/m120261.aspx> or <http://www.piclist.com/techref/member/IMB-yahoo-J86/memcpy.asm.htm> >It can be implemented >in just about two lines of C code plus five lines of boiler plate. Or in a single line of IBM 360 ASM/F Code, plus boiler plate. :-) <http://www.bixoft.nl/english/opcd/mvcl.htm> In 1979, I implemented various block move code snippets for three different eight bit microprocessors of that time. The parameterized variant took between 20 and >30 instructions. -- Wir danken für die Beachtung aller Sicherheitsbestimmungen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
