Then built a separate serious number chrunching module.

I'd certainly like to see how you'll do any memory protection in SMSQ/E without breaking 90% of the applications. Anyway, something that needs an MMU can use an MMU, just not in any part of the code that is common to ALL platforms (that's at least Atari, GC, SGC, QXL, QPC and Qx0).

What errors? Give me one example please. And why not contact Quanta, perhaps they're giving it away now if approached, who knows? > George has offered to convert the macros. What better offer could > you have? I have no problem with providing the macros alongside of the main distribution as long as the distribution itself stays QMAC compatible. But like it or not, I'm currently your main developer for SMSQ/E. And I don't even have a platform to run GWASS on! See any problem there? Well, I do! But if you want to take over my developments, fine, go ahead! I can provide you with all sources you need, just say the word! I have enough non-QL related stuff to do, I certainly won't get bored.
