  Is it possible to get a copy of the source for the PAWS 3.2 compiler? I would
like to make some modifications to produce faster running code. In particular,
the floating point compare routines are slow. I have seen a 20% improvement
from using the 68881/68882 to do the same function. It would be a lot easier
to modify the compiler as I have several conditional compile flags I use to
debug various things. It would really be a pain to hack the assembly source.

  I'm not sure if it would be best to modify the COMPILE20 or the MODCAL20
compiler. Does the MODCAL20 compiler with $MODCAL OFF$ produce the same code
as COMPILE20?

  This is for personal use only; none of the code files produced will ever be
distributed outside HP. Likewise for the source.
