As far as I know, Maverick has quietly died. I may be completely wrong.
Have been a bit slack adding new code lately but i am still breathing at this moment!
Why would you want to do this? The very nature of both multivalue Basic and Java suggests that this will cost you heavily in performance.
Just for reference have worked really hard on the basic programs runtime library to get the performance close to the commercial mv variants. From actually doing it there is really *no* significant penalty in executing your basic code in a JVM(which is JIT compiled) relative to the homespun VM's in other mv platforms or the C translated code jbase produces. The problems have all being due to the library implementation(ie wrong algorithm chosen) not the actual underlying platform. For example last week the debate over using <-1> vs <X++> type addressing runs pretty much the same under maverick, you can use either without penalty. - Robert ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
