I chesked the link and it is very impressive. BTW i have the book in printed form. I bought it once in a decond hans show for about $1 (equivalent). I thought i once read an article about how they implemented SEE, that was what i was interested in. Studying this machine language makes it very hard to understand. But i think my memory failed me on this one. The article you mention used to be in my archives as well until my littel son got hold of it. thanks again, Jan Willem
