Yes, but you claimed program versions are *nowhere* mentioned, so just 1 example will prove you wrong. > Where I should specify path to my BC 3.1 or OW compiler (compare: > config.b)?

I learnt assembly with the Z80, where there was no "jae" or "je", so as for me using jnc/jz are the most natural versions. > > @@ok: > xor ah,ah ; everything OK and finished > ;clc > >>> [...] >>> inc al ;4 extra bytes for size + checksum? >>> shl al,2 ;4 bytes (makes Kyrandia 3 work [better]!?) > > inc ax ; this is shorter, than "inc al" > shl al,2 > Indeed, saves a byte (although not true for "inc ax", since we are in 32bit mode), but I deliberately choose to use "mov ah,00", because it clearly indicates that it is the "ok" return code which is set. > sub eax,edx > jae @@noadj2 > xor eax,eax > @@noadj2: > yes, this indeed is better. Go on! If you can reduce the size of V86 segment to 3400h it will save a full 4 kB page (currently size is still about 3540h) > J> optimising the C part is irrelevant IMO > Why not?
