I've never used BDS C so I can't say for sure. For comparison purposes, a DEC-20 assembly program to do that takes 5.8 cpu seconds. That's all in a register: (movei 1, =10000000; sojn 1, .) When moving it to and from a memory location, it takes 15.9 cpu seconds. The equivalent program in C with i as a long and with cc -O took 85.7 cpu seconds on a 11/70. Pretty good performance by Lisa I'd say. Stuart
