For one thing, it now = builds, which certainly is a useful start... :-) I've been playing with the idea of writing an 82586 driver (UGH!) for = the Pro for RSTS, and seeing how disgustingly sick that chip is, doing = it from scratch, or even seriously transforming existing assembly = language drivers, is an unpleasant notion. On the other hand, doing it = in C (more precisely, borrowing from, say, the NetBSD driver, changed as = needed) seems more palatable. I *think* gcc is close to being able to handle that job. So I'll = probably be using it for that purpose. Am I the only user of that = compiler or are there others? paul Paul, Will "gcc" build for the VAX (or Alpha) so it can be used as a cross compiler for the 11's on those platforms? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes to both, but I don't know from personal experience. paul
