You have two choices. 1) write it from scratch 2) port gcc and then all of gnubin -- and then all of the various parallel computing software if you want industrial strength versions of this type of thing, you won't do (1) better than the scads of people doing it now (well, your code will sure look better than openmpi.org, but it won't do mpi better). So you might want to start with the gcc port. Not because we want gcc, mind, but because we need gcc -- because there are way too many bits that have to be done, and not enough people to do them. ron
