Hello, Thanks to everyone who responded. Unfortunately, it appears that my search is in vain. There were more mails saying "Yeah ! I want that too ! So keep me posted of anything you got" than those offering help. Those who did offer help spoke of the two trace tools for the SPARC available on the public domain : SPA and Shade/Shadow - both of which I have. What I wanted was to be able to modify the instruction set in an (fairly) arbitrary way. A trace tool can't do that. Thanks anyway ! Well, the bottom line seems to be - there aren't any ! Its probably not too difficult to hack one up but the problem is to support all those nasty system services properly - especially stuff like malloc which requires detailed information about the memory (which wouldn't be the same for a simulator and an actual execution). A suggestion though ... if anyone do come up with such a simulator, may I suggest that in line with SPIM, one should name it "SPARC" spelled backwards, i.e. C R A P S ! ! ! :-):-):-) Thanks again ! Regards, W.F. Wong.
