Oh, yeah ... Assembler. Breakfast of champions !! Let's see those C++ guys figure out a BXLE. 1500 bytes? Heck, that's bloated. 1K max, that's the ticket. Save some instructions by skipping that STM at the front of the program and the LM at the back. Who cares what your caller's regs were, anyway. (LOL) TED
