If you coded the conversion of a "double" to a "double", it would make bad code that pushed more than it popped. I wrote a little pre-processor to look for these after the second time I got caught by it. On the 8086, you have stack frames etc so the call and return can be done Pascal style with no trouble. The PLM-80 compiler caused the parameters be be all pulled off the stack as soon as you entered the routine. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

I suspect whoever gets my > house will just raze it and build something that isn't holey. I tore the carpet up from the second bedroom yesterday. Today is the upstairs hallway and stairs. Then I have some repairs to do to the railings. Then stain, polyurethane, and paint the walls. The master bedroom carpet gets torn out next week and then new carpeting in the upstairs. Two weeks later the entire downstairs gets recarpeted (gotta tear all that out and repaint inbetween). > Fieldstone foundations suck. I'd never have one. Mine is 8" concrete.
