This is correct, DM32 is being written from scratch, and uses no code (or other copying) from DM42. David, like most programmers, can develop, debug and support code from his mind, better than trying to force fit someone else's code.

There is no information available on the algorithms, etc. but it''s possible this can be made available later, once released. That said, and as Thomas implied, this crowd will no doubt push and test it enough that the technique(s) used will probably be revealed pretty quickly. Behavior is indeed based on the improved ROM, and the goal is to reproduce all behavior as closely as possible to the 32Sii, with the exception of cases where the improved precision leads elsewhere (which in fact occurs in more places than one may initially expect).
