Subject: Z80 algorithms

The Z80 processor is known to be one of the cheapest processors in the world,
but alas it is also known to be NOT one of the fastest. The more I am
interested in fast assembler coded algorithms to avoid unnecessary waiting
periods.

The algorithms I'm interested in are relatively elementary: 16 bit
multiplication, 16 bit division, 32 bit arithmetics, filling an arbitraray
amount of storage with a given bit pattern, conversion of ascii encoded numbers
to binary and vice versa, conversion from binary to hexadecimal notation, etc.

Well, I do have such algorithms; but I wonder if they can be made faster. Does
there exist a collection of such algorithms I can access? (I don't have access
to anonymous ftp.)

I'm watching this newsgroup since last winter, and I haven't seen one article
on this subject. Or do I watch the wrong newsgroup?    :-|

If there is someone who wants to send me some of those algorithms, please
don't mail them, please post them: I could bet there are some people out there
in netland who are interested, too.  :-)

Waiting patiently ... Thanks in advance,
