The obvious solution seems to be to code it in assembler, but the problem is that i don't think reading through the friendly orange manual is the best way to learn assembler for a VAX. Does anyone have suggestions for a good tutorial? (I've done some assembler for micro's, and have studied varieties of assembly languages in school, so i'm familiar with most of the concepts, but i haven't done any programming in assembly on a real machine.) Thanks in advance for any help. ------- michael j zehr "My opinions are my own ... as is my spelling."
