- Can I jump in here? I never was able to find a "patch020" but did find a
- "patchmath020" which appeared to read as doing this. Ran it on several
- aging commercial programs and even on some fresh releases. It managed to
- find ONE occurance of a slow mulu to replace in about 5 megs of code.
-
- The question then is: Was this the right program? If not, where is it?
-
- Cheers
