Oh. Please consider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Level_Virtual_Machine Because it is awesome, and if you port to that, you do not have to port to any other architecture. I was only recently made aware of LLVM, and it is really cool. Apple reportedly has started using it, probably wise from their past experience with switching CPU architecture. With LLVM, switch as much as you like. And no, LLVM is NOT another Java in disguise. LLVM is like a real CPU. regards, Jakob -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
