Two different header files existed, one to produce the ARM and one to produce the AARM (Annotated ARM). Scribe supports macros, and these header files had complex macro definitions to achieve the desired effects. The last time I checked, maybe six or eight years ago, Cygnet was supporting Scribe processors on a variety of platforms. Art Evans
