Although that has a pretty short life span (since Apple is moving to Intel), and writing proper vectorized code is not simple. So, basically a lot work and code for probably a very small audience and short term. It would have to be a project that someone would do out of love rather than need. :-) Cheers, Chris ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ ht://Dig Developer mailing list: htdig-dev@lists.sourceforge.net List information (subscribe/unsubscribe, etc.) https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-dev
