with... with... nasm opcode I suppose, or was it with some macros.
Only then did I came with these less natural names.

You'll probably not like it much more if I say you that this morning
I cannot get neither retro neither Tunes because of:
Connection closed by foreign host. (before asking my password)
I even tried an anonymous cvs login rather than using tcvs 
from my .zshrc but it gave me:
cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.tunes.org: Connection reset by
peer

hum, maybe later it will work.
