While the syntax extension isn't really necessary, it can produce much more readable code. WRT syntax: $S0 = <<_EOT_ ... _EOT_ will work, because the token "<<_EOT_" is longer then the token "<<". The only thing that will stop working is: .local int _EOT_ $I0 = $I1 <<_EOT_ # space needed then Not much of a problem. We don't need and don't support nested HERE docs, so one fix-defined "<<_EOT_" or some such will do it. > CU, Bernhard leo
