We (I'm talking for 3 poeple here:- ) simply like assembly language because we think that way. dont mind C for port, my friend pascal when he do mac software. So even if C was faster:-) we would stay with our macro assembler. And Genim2 is slow on a 25mhz A3000, but I work when its running and I dont need mutch cycle to read/write :-) Genim2 is reliable and not 'overkilled', that's all. And when I think of C I think only of 15% slower for general coding and asm for crytical parts... And if Matthew Dillon was think of doing a macro assembler... Could he use a library for the instruction decoding? I think string gadget sould be able to do calculation.
