New version of the exec.library v45.24 : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=57950


The exec.library was written in asm since the beginning. So, it's hard to get
a real speedup. Anyway, many bytes can be saved using some 68k tricks.
All the code are always reworked to use all the features of the 68060 with a
full 68000 compatibility. The new 020+ opcodes are used very rarely, so
special _020, _030, _040 and/or _060 functions are created when needed.

This library is now a true jewel of coding. Enjoy !


Thanks for this effort Cosmos.


What I would personally like to see are updated libraries that are CPU targeted without any support for 68000 (eg remove 68000 compatibility completely).  

Either come up with 2 library versions (020/030) and (040/060) or one single library (020/030 with 040/060 functions where needed).
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!
