For most people it's not hard to understand that code such as machine_proc(64, 3) is not good readable. And I had told you about well known potential problems concerning comments, but I learned that you believe you are the only person on this planet who is "immune" to certain mistakes. > You know we can debate about this for centuries, but in the end we're > just gonna do what we want anyway.

Writing efficient code does not just mean using some machine specific routines with comments. You might want to read the Euphoria documentation carefully, in order to learn more about writing efficient code. For instance I use profile and profile_time to examine programs. Depending on the program, there are several ways to make it more efficient. Sometimes I write parts of a program in assembler. Regards, Juergen -- Have you read a good program lately?
