OK, I don't mind giving the complier some hints about what  variables  to  turn
into  registers, but how many register variables can I declare in a function on
the VAX 11/780?  Usefully, that is.  Is the number different than the number of
registers available for user programs?

Might as well reply by net -- I'm sure there are a lot of C fans out  there  on
VAXen that would want to know, too.  ADVthanksANCE!
