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.
