I think Brian misread the previous paragraph to mean that the MIPS simulator is able to run these programs in a simulated UNIX environment (i.e. simulating the entire UNIX kernel), but I see only user-level mentioned, above. Note that we *are* able to perform such simulations, but only in a single- tasking, stand-alone environment. John -- does the MIPS simulator incorporate a simulated UNIX kernel, and have you performed multiprogramming simulations with it? -- Tim Olson Advanced Micro Devices (tim@amdcad.AMD.COM)
