> Yes I did. Same document covers 32-bit and 64-bit. No it doesn’t. I read the whole thing and it doesn’t discuss ELF32 at all, and it says that pointers are 8 bytes in size, not sometimes 4, sometimes 8. >> assuming the z/Linux 31-bit software is made >> AM-anything, if it isn’t already. > It aint the software. Its the hardware. The hardware > cannot process 32-bit. It can process 31-bit, and 64-bit. My proposal is to run ELF32 binaries in AM64, so the hardware will allow that. It has not been definitively proven that all the 32-bit software involved can cope with being run in AM64, but that is what is required for my design to work. BFN.
