I dont like to take local variable initialization for granted. Even if the manual says that its guaranteed that a local variable will start with 0, i prefer to initialize everything to a known value myself.
An aditional Move $varaddress, 00 at startup wont slow things down noticeably when your pc is running at 2ghz... This unit needs to take care of big endian vs. low endian (maybe a $define ?) When i wrote that code i did not pay attention to this... Anything more complex (like interacting with DHCP server) would be too complex and probably dependent on external units (like synapse x lnet etc). Some people might prefer to use other library instead of the default choosen one, etc... 2011/7/26 Sven Barth <pascaldra...@googlemail.com>: > On 26.07.2011 01:23, Paul Nicholls wrote: >> >> "Jorge Aldo G. de F.
