I don't have anything against the early HMOVE tricks, I was just hoping
there was a way to do it that didn't depend on the platform. Something
universal. Then we don't think about it like a hardware bug or
something. If it is universal then it is a reliable feature. Know what
I mean?

If you can do this then fine. I was just hoping for it to be a little
more simple.
BTW, sorry about the multiple post. I guess if I post from my other
email address things get slowed down.
