> [deleted discussion about external I/O and M3 interfacing problems]

I also have this problem of importing data that is "externally created".  As
part of the SPIN project, which is an extensible OS written in M3, I wrote the 
networking support.  Being able to layout datastructures with BITS n FOR t 
seems to work well enough for me to parse in any data that I get off of the 
network.  I just wish I could do this using a "safe" language construct, 
rather than doing LOOPHOLE(ADR(network buffer),IP.T), for example.

Just my random $0.02.

Marc
