Presumably, I'd code a C version and then I'd code a processor dependent assembly/inline version for each processor architecture (this is one area where much of the FreeBSD assembly code sucks out: no up-to-date C versions). If I were a weenie, I'd put them all in the same file and #ifdef them. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
