To permit the hardware to catch single bit errors. ECC is a better version of this, which permits the hardware to correct single bit errors, and catch multiple bit errors. > what makes the difference from 'par' to 'no par'? A byte had even partiy if there are an even number of bits set, and odd paroty if an odd number of bits are set. > What part of > the program do the requested byte belongs (Code, data, > stack)?

There have been a number of programs in assembly published in -hacers and -current, as well as -alpha (if you are in need of an Aplha assembly language "Hello World!" program). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
