As I understand it we have an OSF/1 emulator that works on the Alpha. And now the OSF/1 shared libs are available. Do you think it might be feasible for me to set up an environment on my Alpha where I could install the OSF/1 version of the Modula-3 compiler and runtime, enabling me to build CVSup binaries for OSF/1? As part of this I would need a working OSF/1 GNU C compiler, assembler, and linker too. I suppose with some effort I could cross-bootstrap that from an Alpha/FreeBSD environment. What do you think? Have I finally lost all sanity? John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
