Ooh, isn't that the architecture used by the author of "Porting gcc for idiots" (or similar)? I had a look at that because I'm very vaguely contemplating getting a C compiler to MMIX (Knuth's pseudo-assembly language that will replace MIX). I'd need to get an enormous supply of tuits, and probably a compiler book or two, but who knows. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All opinions are my own, not my employer's.

linux kernel
You know Linux is becoming far to good when you learn about new architectures by looking at the kernel source. There i was innocently getting ready to do a 2.4.2 build this morn when i happened to glance in arch/ and found cris, wtf is cris i thought to myself it turns out i already new about the systems (etrax from axis) but still its a shock to see something in arch you don't recognise. Last time i looked was 2.3.37 with this . [gem@scully linux-2.3.37]$ ls arch/ alpha arm i386 m68k mips ppc sh sparc sparc64 and now . [gem@buffy linux-2.4.2]$ ls arch/ alpha cris ia64 mipsparisc s390 sh sparc64 armi386 m68k mips64 ppc s390x sparc they are busy little beavers in the linux kernel community (although i believe some of this is roling stuff in the main distro for 2.4, although i could be wrong) Greg -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net
