Well thanks for everybodies suggestions regarding Hobbits and Fish :).  I
won't go into the reasons why both stratergies are not particularly suitable
for my quest, but are there any other takers who would like to correspond
with me and guide me through the sub-30 instruction set catergory.

By the way is the new Mup20 boards out yet?
