Using the optimized strcpy.s and strcmp.s that Dave just posted I
now get 9250 dhrystones / second.  This is up from 8771 and 7692
previously reported using the assembly string instructions and 
C routines respectively.

After converting to compatible assembler format, Dave's routines
seem to work fine with one expection.  The .align 4 directives
must be commented out any place the code falls through to
the next section.  Instructions beginning with 0x00 do not seem
to work very well :-).

Best regards,
