Dick, I admire in cleverness of all this, but the code is even worse to comprehend than assembly language. Seems to me we're going backwards. Can't we just keep things simple; like with put and get and meaningful names? Seems to me we're defeating the whole purpose of Rev. Just MHO,

And assembly language beats the socks off of everything, and I suppose, with Apple's transition to Intel chips, would also be cross platform. Of course I've never done any for X86 chips; but a lot for 6800; and, even with the 8 and 16 mhz machines of the day, it was blazing, eye-popping
