Nice. We were rather talking about the other way round, though, i.e. running x86 binaries on S/390. This would take an x86 emulator. B.t.w. as it happens I wrote an x86 emulator some time ago, with the original intention of integrating it into Wine (to allow execution of Windows/x86 binaries on other platforms). This didn't work out for various reasons, but I still have the code ... Even so, I doubt that a pure emulator will be viable for serious applications due to performance reasons. You'd probably need a good JIT to make this work; and now we're talking about quite another level of complexity ... Bye, Ulrich -- Dr. Ulrich Weigand [EMAIL PROTECTED]
