You just can't get C chugging all that fast on a little 6502 -- but (in fact) the Manx people got it going almost half as fast as C on an IBM PC! I suspect that the version you saw was the "interpreted", p-code-like version, which is indeed slow but produces much more compact code than the native version. Note that you are free to link interpreted, compiled, and assembled modules together to get the best mix of speed and size. (wellll....with a run-time package of 8k for the native code, and another 8k for the interpreter, don't expect really optimal space....) !orstcs!nathan
