Intel has also OEMed i860 compilers from Green Hills and the Portland Group, and struck an (unannounced) deal with Multiflow for compiler technology at about the same time they announced the Alliant deal. I think that Alliant's failure to produce its compiler on schedule likely says more about Alliant than it does about the i860. -- Jeff Carroll carroll@ssc-vax.boeing.com "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." - Socrates
