Subject: speed questions and other questions

I actually run djgpp 1.07 but will get djgpp 1.08 soon.

I want to ask some speed questions:

1/ when I run my own chess program with debug32, it is
about 15% faster as with go32.
This is very surprising!
do you know how this can happen?
has go32 some options for maximal speed?

2/ do you know how to make inline functions:
bit_scan_forward and bit_scan_reverse using the assembly
instructions of the 386/486.
(the problem is to make them inline...)

Other questions:

1/ is djgpp supported whis os2 version 2?

2/ will djgpp be supported under Windows?
(I have heard that Microsoft C 7.00 is a 32 bits application
that runs under Windows)

    Many thanks
