Yeah i think this is probably something i should start with, i don't think starting directly into a new feature would be good because I'd probably make a bit of a mess of it since i don't know the project well enough yet. But this might be the right track to go on for now, i done some porting to sparc and mips of my project and at my previous job. So hopefully i know what i am doing ;). - --Phil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkrN270ACgkQAhcOgIaQQ2HdsQCgkb159IjTzeFVCTTXt2DcAkW0 iq0AnjwirZER06adWA7pc0yRxOmrir+6 =YymP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
