Hello Tim,
TR> It's horrible, unclean, tacky but it works reliably and is implemented on all

in my digital signal processing world things are utterly trivial done in
assembly (after I fought with it for about five years) but others
roll their eyes when I say this.
In squeak everything is still new and I'm on the other side :-))

I've understood that I need to find the (slang? C?) code for the
primitive, so where can that be found?
On the swiki I read the named primitive tutorial and I feel confident
that I could build a dll that does the job and call it. But this is
even less elegant than my batch approach.
So if you care please give me a short outline (or a pointer to one) on
how to go about this.
I've read the VMMAKER article on the swiki and for now I fear that
would be the only way to go?
Best regards,
