FAST ::: that's what you want.  Well There is a solution.

The hardware uses the lower 512k of ram for DMA COPPER etc.....
This 1/2 meg has it's own bus.  The problem currently is that
no one can expand above that memory space, and therefore
you application has contention with all of the Hardware HELP.

Put your application above the 512K border (wich is running 
on a seperate bus) and you can run the dma and AMIGA hardware
concurrent with your application without any Contention at all.

All I can ask for is a 128K expantion board above the current ram
to run my application on.  Sound simple and obvious I wonder if
it is going to happen???

I hope so.

   Just as long as there are no misconceptions - this version of make isn't
very much like the UNIX version at ALL!  It did sorta work, but no macros, no
default rules - it was almost more pain than help.  I suppose it's better
than nothing, though... maybe I'll have to do one myself [ :-> ].

Maybe I should clarify my previous posting.  It looks like there were two
makes's posted to the net within the last year or so.  The one I have 
running on the amiga is the one written by Landon Dyer (of Atari :-).
It does have macros, and if it doesn't have default rules, it will by the
time I get through with it...
