Now, how well optimized it is for the 040 is another question, but it would seem that they do support it. Are you saying that they tried to support it but it is broken? (not like I have an 040 Amiga to try it on) Also, AmigaWorld Tech Journal had an interesting article comparing the two. They timed several different programs, benchmarks of a wide variety, and SAS came out on top almost every time. Often by big margins. >> Dave > >-- > William J.
