TH>Segment is adx+1.
OD>Huh? What is ADX? It is the 32bit version of DX, as EAX is of AX?
Sorry, "adx" is short for the address of the instruction data, and
oops, I ment adx+2. My point was that the segment of the address is
two bytes higher than the offset. And, ofcourse, I am refering to the
16-bit model.

OD>"not taken a speed hit, yet"... meaning your routines are fast????
On a 586 they sure are. But, what I ment was that compile times are
only two or three seconds for even those file sizes. PowerBASIC is a
true compiler and produces machine code. As for how effient it is, I
have not performed any analysis.
