I need to have a frame pointer register for use with the stack (similar ? to the frame pointer register in a 68000). I think I should be able to ? use the BP register, but I am not sure. Can anyone help me on this? The ? Symmetry uses an 80386. ? Joel Patterson UUCP: svp@csgrad.UUCP ? 804-421-9398 INET: svp@csgrad.cs.vt.edu That's what Sequent does. I think that's the most common choice. A cc -S command will tell you all you need to know. -- Root Boy Jim Cottrell <rbj@uunet.uu.net> Close the gap of the dark year in between
