Right. I got that one too, but the MIPS code was stuck with the command
line tools long after VC++ was out for x86. The same goes for Alpha.
Porting from x86 is much more difficult without equivilent tools on both
platforms.

I am very happy about the recent Alpha announcement, and I hope it
portents good things to come.
