I want to port a threads package that does its own preemption (thus context switching) to the mips. I glanced through the binders dec enclosed with our 3100s but didn't notice any documentation that would help me. I've done other ports of these sort of things before so I know on most architectures its not a big deal: save the pc and relevant context, etc. So I'm looking for someone else port of a similar type package so I can see what needs to be done and do it for my package or a pointer to the dec documentation where I can get the goods. Thanks. rich
