We would like to use the CMA Threads from the DCE-Snapshot 3 for our
OODB server development. But the Snapshot only provides the machine-dependent
files for VAX, MIPS and Risc/6000, though the code in cma_config.h mentions
Sun, too. Has anybody done a port of the OSF-CMA to Sun hardware, and could
you give us some hints? Otherwise I must dig out my old 'hacker knowledge'
(yes, I learned programming on 6502 kit, very KIM-like), but since the porting
docs (3 Pages, haha) are not very detailed, I am not very optimistic (and I
cannot spend more than a few weeks part-time on it).

Yes, I have some understanding in the SPARC architecture, and read the summary
which pardo@cs.washington.edu posted some time ago (X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume
9, Issue 238, message 1), but here I need some info about the layout of signal
contexts, when to call the 'magic' FLUSH_WINDOW trap, and so on.

It would be even helpfull to get the mach-dep. files for other
machines/processors.


        Hoping for help ( or a guru to come along..)     Michael
