[Sound of head hitting desk] Oh! You're saying that instead of pure perl I could write the disassembler and translator in PASM. I think I've gotten so used to Perl being the best job for translating from one bytestream to another that I never imagined using PASM itself, but of course that's what the aforementioned Befunge & Ook translators do. Well, that will certainly be more work than doing it in Perl, but OTOH, it'll probably be a great tutorial in PASM. And reading Dan's post, it looks like that's what he's thinking of, too. And since I can't imagine we'll get *three* people to agree on anything, I think I'll start trying to do that. I'll get back to you in six months or so :) -Amir __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
