<DIV>You'll need to give a summary of the pros and cons of this idea... its a
lose in the speed and space department. Its a win in readability? What other
criterion could possibly outweigh speed and space in any program? If the
boss had a choice of two programs that passed the atp, one was written so that
every variable was accessed with a call and a return instead of just a load, and
as a result, ran slower and needed a bigger size flash, adding $2 extra for
10,000 32k processors instead of 10,000 16k processors, which would he approve
for production?</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Get a sneak peek of the all-new <A title="http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour/?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000982" href="http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour/?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000982" target="_blank">AOL.com</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
