No Pete, I thought you was just being yer old self. 

Anyhow, my tests here *have* shown... & I did use added printf functions, that,
on average, I picked up 3k in the executables. Now then I was using the MW
libs. When I compiled to ASM, & looked at the source, I saw many repeats of
what looked like similar code. Now... I don't think that you can say that B09
is "better" than C or vice versa. Like are apples better than oranges? Your
point is well taken, (I concede), that "C isn't as unruly....". I really
shoulda known that things have changed in the last two years. Now.... I've got
a Hard Drive problem. (HELP!). All of a sudden I'm picking up read errors on my
ST225. (random files, all parts of the drive). I'm using Bruces Eliminator &
WD1005G setup. Question is... should I just go ahead & reformat & restore? or
given those symptoms, is that likely to do any good? Mabye I should look for
other probs before I give up? BTW Bruce is out of town.
