pocketlinux' version of kaffe had seen more internal development from Transvirtual, and should contain some improvements in some areas (AWT, rudimentary jit4, gc-interface to boehm, more ports & threading systems, better gcj support ...), but it has been surpassed in others ;) In short, volunteers are needed to merge in the good bits. > Do > you mean that the GC in > PocketLinux Kaffe can be plugged into Kaffe as well? Only if the gc interface hasn't diverged much between the two versions. I haven't looked at it seriously yet, so I can't tell. It would be nice if someone could try to merge it in, so we can know for sure ;) cheers, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
