I haven't looked at occam in a couple of years but back then there was no way to do ANYTHING dynamic (even allocate storage), so I called INMOS and asked about it. My inquiry took me all the way to the president of INMOS -- and everywhere the answer was the same -- nothing dynamic for occam -- nothing dynamic for the chip. So, I begged for info with which to write my own assembler (and, from there, my own compiler with lots of dynamic stuff), but before I could get INMOS to release such information, the project was cancelled and I went into observer mode. (all at a previous company) Has any of this changed? --Carl Ellison UUCP:: cme@cloud9.Stratus.COM SNail:: Stratus Computer; 55 Fairbanks Blvd.; Marlborough MA 01752 Disclaimer:: (of course)
