With CodeWarrior:-
    When you declare 'register' variables, how many are likely to acually
be registers
when the compiled/linked program is running?  I can't find anything about
this in the targeting PS manual.  Also does the compiler assign registers
to register variables in the order they are declared... meaning you should
declare your most heavily used variables as register variables first?

I'd be greatful for any info on this.   Using register variables seems to
make a significant difference on CPU intesive code so it would be
well-worth knowing how far you can go with them.
