You and dxf are       far more adept at stack manipulations than I. I'm thinking I can get a       word up and working with locals and then convert to manual stack       manipulations afterwards if necessary.              When is it necessary? dxf showed a word w/o locals to have ~%30 fewer       instructions than a word with locals. Is that a common occurrence?              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
