OK, we're well into the 21st century. I'm on a multi-core, multi-gigahertz machine.
Yet I keep trying to optimize away single lines of code, to the point that I had four versions of some of my functions to avoid a little switch at the start to set a word or two into a variable, instead hard-coding it. It's all a hangover from the limits of 8 bit BASIC . . . (but at least I've accepted that I can jump to any point in the code at the same speed, instead of having faster jumps to early in memory as it searches . . . [That mattered in MBASIC below version 5 {but then, that's why my BASIC & FORTRAN always looked more like C or Pascal than spaghetti . .}]) -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
