DG>Well I'm looking for something that will take x.asm(x86) and turn it into
DG>y.asm(optimised for 486+).
That part could be done without too much trouble...  like changing multiple 
SHL
instructions to a single SHL instruction (286+ can have an immediate value 
or
a SHL, but an 8086 can't), or turning a REP MOVSW into a REP MOVSD (it would
have to find where you assigned CX as well)... I don't know of any programs
that do so, but if you send it to me, maybe I could work on that.
