Most big-endian and little-endian stuff is already there. Getting the FreeBSD port from that should not be a big problem. Unfortunately, it's more a matter of having way too little time and energy... As for help -- impossible. The agreement is personal and short-term (ie I have to return the sources and destroy any copies of it). Technically speaking, I can't even send beta-versions around for people to test. The distribution aspects still have to be discussed [note to self: bug the guys again...] -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
