I did look as the sparc64 page but was not able to pull out the 'informed conjecture' noted above. I must be really dense lately... Anyway, the table is available. Who wants to help set the table? :^) http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/ia64/article.html Color was fun; we should do more of that. Note- I only changed the HTML source on this page and added corresponding entries in the local docbook.css stylesheet, not the SGML originals. I just wanted to see if I could get table headings in different colors. If you like it, we should be able to work it in. I used classes. Best Regards, jpb ===
