Depending on how the box is built, to handle tri-mode may require a check of
addresses versus the AMODE on most instructions. There may be a preference to
64 to improve performance in products that are used for benchmarks.

Of course, there may be 3 different engines ....

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
