   Bug in Turbo Pascal V3.01a   
   15 Jun 21 18:22:19   
   
   From: robert@prino.org   
      
   move(trip, _minmax[1].fasts[1].fast_trip, sizeof(fastid));   
      
   where fastid has a size of 4.   
      
   The compiler emits a "mov ax, 4" twice.   
      
   Absolutely no clue why. Use 4 (and loose portability) and it's OK.   
      
   Having fun decompiling code to mis-matched source, and given that all the   
   Borland Pascal compilers are simple one-pass programs, that turns out to   
   relatively easy! ;)

   PS: And no I haven't got anything better to do.
