Lines: 9 Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if any version of movc[35] shovels more than a byte at a time? What I'm thinking is, mightn't it be faster (on large transfers) to movb up to 7 bytes to quad align with respect to something, and then do the remainder with movq? -- Uucp: ..!seismo!umcp-cs!rehmi By the fork, spoon, and CsNet: rehmi.umcp-cs@csnet-relay exec of Lord Basfour's InterNet: rehmi@{maryland,umd-csd} Publick High Guardian
