I have ARP, but was hoping for an assembly routine or something from BASIC (yes, because I wrote my program about a week faster in BASIC than it would take me to do it in C...meaning one night of BASIC and 7 days at C). I would like to be able to put it in my source file, so if an ML routine is used I need to put it in data statements. Thanks. :) David Tiberio
