Well, as you might have suspected, that code has never seen a compiler :-)
It was typed directly into the mail. And function names a little
different, but type and count of arguments are exactly the same. Only 4
functions are available: open(), set(), get() and close().

I will have a look via eVC on monday when I'm back at work. I will be
using the debugger and cut'n waste, as I find it hard to go through all
those menues to find an option to generate assembler output.
Thank you for your mail!
