A major lack >for 3.0 is the lack of support for 68020, 68881 and 68851 assembly... WHY?????? It would have been so easy to add and I was planning on writing a lot of 68881 code as soon as I got the compiler. Now I have to trust your FP routines and forget hand-optimization of some stuff. I can probably forget my plans to write any decent 3d-stuff. I don't care that much about the 020-stuff or the 851 instructions (would have been nice though), but the is really a major lack in the assembler. Even the Mach assembler knows 020 and 881 instructions. I hope there will be a 3.01 version real soon. (Well, I'll probably get the $check for the upgrade today anyway...) I like C, but nothing beats 10% asm, 90% C programming. Juri Munkki jmunkki@santra.hut.fi jmunkki@fingate.bitnet
