Announce: PowerPC Port for 64-bit PicoLisp

2011-04-27 Thread Alexander Burger
Hi all, 64-bit PicoLisp now also runs on PowerPC/Linux :) So this is the second CPU supported (in addition to x86-64). Thanks to Nikolai Zobnin! I could use his hardware to do the port. Seems to work well: It assembles itself, and the unit tests in lib/test.l and misc/bigtest pass. Probably
