If you ever do write this 'converter', I recommend doing a few benchmarks. Unless you spend a lot of time working on optimization, I suspect you'll find that a decent C compiler/optimizer beats your converted 68000 code by a fair margin. The MIPS C compiler knows all about the cpu pipelining, instruction overlaps, register scoreboarding, branch delay slots, and on and on. Will your converter? -- -Dan Riley (riley@theory.tc.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell University
