As a quick mea culpa, there was a bug in my code that means the second set of figures I had were wrong. I'm back to an average 10% and up to 15% worse than Adrian. On Sun, Aug 1, 2010 at 9:37 AM, Frode Tennebø fr...@tennebo.com wrote: On Sun, 01 Aug 2010 10:18:55 +0200, Andrew Park

Possible, but i think it would need to be z80 for speed and size. Its not the best written c code :D -Original Message- From: owner-sam-us...@nvg.ntnu.no [mailto:owner-sam-us...@nvg.ntnu.no] On Behalf Of Stefan Drissen Sent: 01 August 2010 13:31 To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: RE:
