        If the M2Amiga Linker works as you suggest, isn't the prep code
     which must be generated prior to the call to a ROM routine redundantly
     created at every call of the same routine.  I can see this being faster,
     but not more compact.

        I am currently a beta-tester for the Benchmark compiler.  Thus far
     it has been very impressive, and I only discovered one bug, a very 
     minor one which was fixed for the release.  If you properly configure
     the startup file and disk, it is possible to work with only one drive
     and 512K, if your work needs are small to moderate.  But I would not
     generally recomend it.

        Hopefully I will get a copy of M2Amiga in the near future.  I am 
     still open minded and if it is as good as you say when compared to 
     Benchmark I will admit it.  But if it is'nt...

                                                Thanks,

                                                        Wade.

        PS:  Aside from being an uncompensated beta-tester of the
               Benchmark compiler I have no other assc. with either
               Leon Frenkel or OXXI, Inc.
