No way David. There is absolutely no way the Macro-32 code is easier to
read than Stephen's C translation.

If anyone else thinks the Macro-32 code is easier to read than Stephen's
C translation, I would really like to know why you think that. Stephen's
C code is far easier to understand than the original Macro-32 code from
David.
